Someone eats apple to cultivate allergic fruit with allergic genetic modification

Many people have taboos about eating: Some people can not eat seafood, some people can not drink, some people can not eat apples, peaches, some people can not touch peanuts ... The reason is very simple, allergies! In daily life, allergies are a common phenomenon. Sometimes a sneeze or a diarrhea is a direct response to allergies.

Yesterday morning, the Sino-Dutch multidisciplinary cross-sensitivity seminar hosted by Zhejiang University Allergy Research Center was held in Hangzhou. More than 70% of allergy experts from China attended the conference.

Common reactions to allergies: Do not eat

If you eat seafood allergies, most people's most direct and effective way is to “not eat”. This is the best way to deal with allergies, but this kind of avoidance is rather negative. “This reduces the quality of our life. !”

Gao Zhongshan, deputy director of the Allergy Research Center of Zhejiang University, said: "People can diagnose allergies by detecting allergies, so that they can avoid allergic food contact."

Professor Gao said that the result of allergy diagnosis is mainly for allergy treatment. For example, to treat milk allergies, take a small dose first, then gradually increase the dose, and slowly stimulate anti-allergic. "This is a long process. In the Netherlands, some allergy treatments take 2 to 3 years and the cost is not small."

At present, allergy diagnosis in China is in its infancy. The common allergens are taken from abroad. Thousands of allergens and the same allergens may change due to geographical differences.

Hypoallergenic apple, already on the market

Dr. Luther, who studies allergy prevention in the Netherlands, said that in Europe, 2% of people are allergic to apples. In order to eat apples, some people go to hospitals and spend a lot of treatment costs.

Luther said that some experts began to use biotechnology to breed allergen-free apples through genetic modification. "The real allergen-free apples are not yet produced." But some hypoallergenic apples are already on the market. These sold apples are tagged and benefit more than 70% of apple allergies.

Professor Gao Zhongshan said that he is studying peach allergies and hopes to breed hypoallergenic peach varieties through gene silencing.

Professor Wang Xingjun of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences began research in this area in 2006. Shandong is a major province of peanuts and is mainly used for export. White people are allergic to peanuts. “If you can breed hypoallergenic peanuts, it will help promote the export of peanuts.” As far as we know, peanuts have identified 8 allergens. What Wang Xingjun has to do is to remove some of the major allergens through gene technology. Wang Xingjun said that his experimental peanuts are in an animate period and it is estimated that it will not be known until next year how the new varieties of peanuts will work. "At present, the United States has already made some experiments in the laboratory."

Spend medical expenses on prevention

If someone coughs, he goes to the hospital to fight antibiotics. A week has passed and no use. If someone has a diarrhea and thinks that it is a bacterial infection, he will go to the gut, and taking medicine will not work... In fact, they may be allergic. He Junheng of Nanjing Medical University pointed out in his report that allergic diseases have ranked 4th in various diseases. Many diseases in our daily lives may be related to allergies.

Producing hypoallergenic fruits can solve most people's allergies. "I'm a clinician, but I started preventive medicine in 2000. I think prevention is more important than treatment." Professor Shen Huahao of Zhejiang University said that a person goes to see a doctor for three days and is too tired. "What we have to do It is to do preventive work so that he can get less sick."

Professor Shen said that 70% of Swedish medical expenses are mainly for prevention, and only 30% for treatment. In China, more than 90% of the costs are spent on clinical medicine.
