[Allergen specificity in protein dermatitis (Hjorth)]
Abstract:
Combination of animal specific antigen reactions and tissue specific factors were found in a female patient with protein dermatitis (Jorth). Positive reactions to muscle-tissue of pigs but no reaction to renal tissue of pigs, tested intracutaneously were obtained. These observations suggest, that muscle specific aminoacids 3-methyl-histidine, monomethyl lysin and tri-methyl-lysin cause antigen reactions.
