Fish Allergens at a Glance: Variable Allergenicity of Parvalbumins, the Major Fish Allergens
22 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Fish is a common trigger of severe, food-allergic reactions. Only a limited number of proteins induce specific IgE-mediated immune reactions. The major fish allergens are the parvalbumins. They are members of the calcium-binding EF-hand protein family characterized by a conserved protein structure. They represent highly cross-reactive allergens for patients with specific IgE to conserved epitopes. These patients...
