Abstract excerpt
The microheterogeneity of amino acid sequence observed in various allergens may affect immune response, but incidence of sequence microheterogeneity in allergens and its relation to their allergenicity are unclear. The occurrence of sequence microheterogeneity in major fish allergen, parvalbumin (PA), has been explored using bioinformatics approaches. 44% of 111 species with known PA sequence have PA isoforms....
