Bioinformatic Methods for Allergenicity Assessment Using a Comprehensive Allergen Database
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A principal aim of the safety assessment of genetically modified crops is to prevent the introduction of known or clinically cross-reactive allergens. Current bioinformatic tools and a database of allergens and gliadins were tested for the ability to identify potential allergens by analyzing 6 Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins, 3 common non-allergenic food proteins and 50 randomly selected...
