Description

Hyaluronidase (Api m 2) is a major glycoprotein allergen in honeybee venom (Apis mellifera). Recombinant Api m 2 (rApi m 2) has similar enzymatic activity, carbohydrate compositions, and IgE binding with the native Api m 2 (nApi m 2). Due to the high degree of cross-reactivity with vespid and bumblebee hyaluronidases, rApi m 2 may be used as a diagnostic tool for a broad spectrum of hypersensitivity reactions to Hymenoptera venoms. It is estimated that 15-25% of the general population is sensitized to Hymenoptera venoms, one of the most important among them being venom from honeybee stings. The reactions to honeybee venom may include large local reactions and systemic anaphylactic reactions such as urticaria, angioedema, gastrointestinal symptoms, and severe pulmonary and cardiovascular events that may have a fatal outcome. Systemic anaphylactic reactions are in most cases IgE-mediated. Source: Siemens
