Animal allergy among husbandry personnel in Riyadh
Background:
The importance of specific animal allergy in immunopathology of asthma and atopic diseases remained to be defined.
Methods:
We measured total and specific IgE. Western blotting of some allergens was also characterised.
Result:
There was a significant elevation of IgE in 3 persons among 15 samples collected. Western blotting showed common husbandry allergens from 3 sources that have common allergenicity.
Conclusion:
Exposure to animal products exacerbates allergic asthma in adults, suggesting that preventive measures should be taken to reduce their sensitivity.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
