Summary
Specific IgE antibodies against bee venom, phospholipase A, melittin and wasp venom have been examined in fifty patients with an unusually severe reaction after bee or wasp sting.
Two thirds of the bee venom‐sensitive patients also have detectable IgE antibodies to wasp venom. More than 50% of the wasp venom‐sensitive patients are also allergic to bee venom. Phospholipase A and melittin IgE antibodies were found, respectively, in two thirds and one third of the bee venom‐sensitive cases.
Specific IgE antibody determinations by the Radioallergosorbent test play an essential role in the diagnostic work. After a reaction to hymenoptera stings both bee and wasp venom tests are necessary due to the high incidence of a false or incomplete identification of the stinging insect.
Melittin, known for its potent pharmacological activity and possibly responsible for most of the side effects in bee venom immunotherapy, can probably not be excluded from therapeutic venom preparations since IgE antibodies to the melittin preparation were detected in one third of the cases.
Die mittels Differentialscanningkalorimetrie im Temp.‐Bereich Liquidustemp. ‐900 K bestimmten Molwärmen flüssiger Au‐Sn‐Legierungen nehmen mit steigender Temp. ab.
Die Enthalpieänderung der Reaktion zwischen Br,(l) und Sn(c) in CS2 als Lösungsmittel zu SnBr4(s) wird ebenso wie die Lösungswärme von SnBr4 (c) in CS2 kalorimetrisch bestimmt und durch Kombination beider Ergebnisse die Standardbildungsenthalpie für SnBr4(c) zu ‐92,3 i0,4 kcal mol‐1 abgeleitet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
