“…The allergy-relevant species from the genus Polistes primarily include P. dominula and P. gallicus (subgenus Polistes) on the one hand and, amongst others, P. annularis, P. exclamans, P. fuscatus, and P. metricus (subgenus Aphanilopterus) on the other hand (Figure 1a) [3,13]. While these members of the subgenus Aphanilopterus have their habitat primarily in Northern America [7,14,15], P. dominula is found worldwide due to its high invasiveness [7][8][9][10][11]. Robust data on the relevance of P. dominula venom allergy are scarce and difficult to collect due to complex diagnostics regarding cross-reactivity to other Vespidae.…”

Allergy to Polistes dominula (European paper wasp) venom is of particular relevance in Southern Europe, potentially becoming a threat in other regions in the near future, and can be effectively cured by venom immunotherapy (VIT). As allergen content in extracts may vary and have an impact on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, the aim was to compare five therapeutic preparations for VIT of P. dominula venom allergy available in Spain. Products from five different suppliers were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS and compared with a reference venom sample. Three products with P. dominula venom and one product with a venom mixture of American Polistes species showed a comparable band pattern in SDS-PAGE as the reference sample and the bands of the major allergens phospholipase A1 and antigen 5 were assignable. The other product, which consists of a mixture of American Polistes species, exhibited the typical band pattern in one, but not in another sample from a second batch. All annotated P. dominula allergens were detected at comparable levels in LC-MS/MS analysis of products containing P. dominula venom. Due to a lack of genomic information on the American Polistes species, the remaining products were not analyzed by this method. The major Polistes allergens were present in comparable amounts in the majority, but not in all investigated samples of venom preparations for VIT of P. dominula venom allergy.
