Species: Equus asinus (Donkey)
NCBI Taxomony ID: 9793
Biochemical name:Lysozyme
MW(SDS-PAGE):15 kDa
Allergenicity:IgE positive responses to purified lysozyme of horse (Equus caballus) and donkey (Equus asinus), 1 patient with dermal (urticaria) reactions to creams containing donkey milk, the second with dermatis following exposure to donkey milk in cosmetics and angioedema after ingesting a few drops of donkey milk. The horse and donkey lysozymes are 99% identical. The two patients had ~ IgE to pure donkey and horse lysozyme, a bit more reactivity in BAT to donkey. Seems both dermal and food allergens.
Allergenicity reference:PubMed:30004599
Route of allergen exposure:Contact
