Fungal Allergen

Molecular classification
Proteins, Enzymes, Toxins, Cell wall components (e.g., glucans)
01

Overview

Fungal allergens are immunogenic molecules found in or on fungal spores and mycelial fragments that can trigger allergic reactions, particularly type I hypersensitivity (IgE-mediated) responses, in sensitized individuals. These allergens are a significant cause of respiratory allergies such as rhinitis and asthma. Diagnosis relies on the detection of specific IgE against relevant fungal extracts, and treatment options include allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, and immunotherapy.

02

Mechanism of action

IgE-mediated type I hypersensitivity reaction leading to mast cell degranulation and release of inflammatory mediators.
