Abstract
Hypersensitivity reactions caused by latex products are ascribed to proteins have not been revealed yet. We have speculated that defense-related proteins biosynthesised in a rubber tree comprise the major part of the allergens. The aim of this study is to ascertain wheather defense-related proteins are extracted from latex gloves and raw ammoniated late. Characteristic hydrolytic-enzyme activities of defense-related proteins were used for their detection and we verified the existence of esterase (EC 3.1.1.1) chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) lysizyme (EC 3.2.2.17) and B-1 3 glucanase(EC 3.2.1.6) in all the latex extracts. The enzymes other than esterase were similar to reported latex allergens in heat stability and molecular weights. These results indicate the elution of latex allergens in heat stability and molecular weights. These results indicate the elution of defense-related proteins from latex products and their potential participation in latex allergy.
