| Allergen source: |
Major taxonomic group: Animalia Chordata Order: Perissodactyla Species: Equus asinus (Donkey) NCBI Taxomony ID: 9793 |
| Biochemical name: | Lysozyme |
| MW(SDS-PAGE): | 15 kDa |
| Allergenicity: | IgE positive responses to purified lysozyme of horse (Equus caballus) and donkey (Equus asinus), 1 patient with dermal (urticaria) reactions to creams containing donkey milk, the second with dermatis following exposure to donkey milk in cosmetics and angioedema after ingesting a few drops of donkey milk. The horse and donkey lysozymes are 99% identical. The two patients had ~ IgE to pure donkey and horse lysozyme, a bit more reactivity in BAT to donkey. Seems both dermal and food allergens. |
