Sensitization due to Gum Arabic <i>(Acacia senegal): </i>The Cause of Occupational Allergic Asthma or Crossreaction to Carbohydrates?

Abstract

Sensitization to gum arabic carbohydrate structures occurs casually in atopic patients with pollen sensitization without obvious exposure to gum arabic. This study suggests that allergy to gum arabic is mediated preferentially by IgE antibodies directed to polypeptide chains of gum arabic.
