Why is there a greater incidence of allergy to the tropomyosin of certain animals than to that of others?

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2007

Mikita Cecilia P, Padlan Eduardo A

Abstract excerpt

Tropomyosin is a major allergen in various foods, implicated in a spectrum of mild to life threatening systemic reactions. The incidence of allergy to tropomyosin varies greatly by species, with sensitivity to crab, shrimp, cockroach, and dust mite tropomyosins, among others, being the highest, while tropomyosins in vertebrate species are considered non-allergenic. We have analyzed the possible fragments which...
