Sequence homology: A poor predictive value for profilins cross-reactivity

Sequence homology: A poor predictive value for profilins cross-reactivity

<p>Summary</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Profilins are highly cross-reactive allergens which bind IgE antibodies of almost 20% of plant-allergic patients. This study is aimed at investigating cross-reactivity of melon profilin with other plant profilins and the role of the l...
