Glycerinated extract

An aqueous extract containing 50% glycerin. Glycerin acts as both a stabilizing and bacteriostatic agent. Glycerinated extracts have a longer shelf-life, due to these stabilizing properties. In high concentrations, glycerin has been reported to cause pain on injection. Dilution of the glycerinated extract can reduce viscosity , thereby alleviating injection discomfort. read more 705357C1-B577-4332-A248-2D41FB183786Created with sketchtool.

Mixing Allergens

Mixing Allergens Once you have interpreted the skin test results and decided to prescribe subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy, the next step is to create the patient’s treatment vials. This can either be ordered directly from ALK as a patient treatment set or mixed in your office from bulk concentrates. As you begin to mix individual treatment… read more 705357C1-B577-4332-A248-2D41FB183786Created with sketchtool.

Cross-Reactivity Among Non-Plant Allergens

Cross-Reactivity Among Non-Plant Allergens While patterns of cross-reactivity are clear among many plants, this pattern may not be as obvious among other types of allergens. Cross-reactivity among mammalian or insect species is not well-defined. Certain allergenic proteins (e.g. albumin, lipocalin, tropomyosin) may contribute to cross-reactivity in some patients. Tropomysoin, for example, is a protein found… read more 705357C1-B577-4332-A248-2D41FB183786Created with sketchtool.

Profilin & Pan-Allergens

Profilin & Pan-Allergens Cross-reactivity is often seen between unrelated species due to shared minor allergens such as Profilin. A minor allergen is an allergenic protein that has demonstrated clinical sensitivity in a minority of patients in a population. Common allergens that demonstrate clinical sensitivity across unrelated species are known as Pan-Allergens. Profilin is a structual… read more 705357C1-B577-4332-A248-2D41FB183786Created with sketchtool.
