摘要:
Background: Mal d 1, the major apple allergen, cross-reacts with IgE specific for the major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, and is responsible for birch pollen related food allergy to apple. Isoforms of Bet v 1 showing minor sequence variations display different binding capacitiy for specific IgE antibodies from allergic patients. Moreover, strain-dependent variation of allergenicity has been reported for apples.
