Comparative genomics of fungal allergens and epitopes shows widespread distribution of closely related allergen and epitope orthologues

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Allergy is a common debilitating and occasionally life threatening condition. The fungal kingdom contains a number of species that produce a wide range of well defined protein allergens although the vast majority of fungal species have unknown allergenic potential. The recent genome sequencing of a variety of fungi provides the opportunity to assess the occurrence of allergen orthologues across the...
