INTRODUCTION: The relationship of parasite infections and promotion or protection from allergy and asthma is controversial. Currently, over 1.5 billion people are infected with parasites worldwide, and Ascaris lumbricoides is the most frequent soil-transmitted helminth.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the biological activity of recombinant A. lumbricoides tropomyosin and investigate IgE cross-reactive responses to tropomyosins by means of microarray methodology for the detection of sensitization to allergen components.
METHODS: Forty patients 12-75 years of age (25 males) with asthma and/or rhinitis and 10 nonallergic control subjects participated in this study. All patients presented positive skin tests to cockroach extracts and underwent skin prick testing (SPT) with recombinant (r) tropomyosins rPer a 7 from Periplaneta americana and rAsc l 3 from A. lumbricoides, at 10 μg/mL. IgE to cockroach and parasite tropomyosins were measured by chimeric ELISA and ImmunoCAP-ISAC, and total IgE was quantitated by ImmunoCAP. Agreement of results was assessed by κ statistics.
RESULTS: Recombinant A. lumbricoides showed biological activity, inducing positive skin tests in 50% patients with asthma and/or rhinitis. IgE to cockroach and parasite tropomyosins were detected in 55-62% of patients. There was good-to-excellent agreement of results of SPT and IgE measurements by ELISA and ImmunoCAP-ISAC, with κ indices of 0.66-0.95. No skin test reactivity or IgE antibodies to tropomyosins were found in nonallergic individuals.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that IgE responses to tropomyosin from A. lumbricoides may enhance reactivity to homologous allergens upon exposure by inhalation or ingestion, promoting allergic reactions and asthma, or increasing the severity of these clinical conditions.
