Incomplete Dominance

19.1K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.6K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

The Skin Microbiota

131
The human skin serves as a complex ecosystem inhabited by a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining skin health and defending against pathogenic invaders. The composition of microbial communities varies significantly across different regions of the body, influenced primarily by the local levels of moisture and sebum.Regional Variation in Skin MicrobiotaCutibacterium acnes predominantly colonizes sebaceous...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Dog allergy testing reveals common and breed-specific allergens. While skin prick tests show varying sensitivity to different dog breeds, results don't correlate with specific breed-related symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Dog allergy affects a significant portion of the population.
  • Identifying specific allergens is crucial for effective diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of dog breed-specific allergen preparations in patients with a history of dog allergy.
  • To determine the presence of common versus breed-specific allergens in dog extracts.

Main Methods:

  • Skin prick testing was performed on 51 patients with dog allergy using eight individual dog breed-allergen preparations, a mixed breed preparation, and dog-serum albumin.
  • Allergen extracts were characterized using crossed immunoelectrophoresis and crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis.

Main Results:

  • Skin prick test sensitivity ranged from 67% to 88% for dog breed-allergen preparations, significantly higher than for dog-serum albumin (18%).
  • Common allergens were identified across dog breeds, with some breed-specific components also detected.
  • Fifteen percent of patients showed significant differences in skin test responses to different dog breeds, suggesting breed-specific allergens.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized dog breed-allergen preparations are valuable tools for diagnosing dog allergy.
  • While common allergens exist, some dog breeds may possess unique allergens that can be identified through specific testing.
  • Further research is needed to correlate skin test results with specific clinical symptoms related to individual dog breeds.
