Distinct epitope structures of defensin‐like proteins linked to proline‐rich regions give rise to differences in their allergenic activity
27 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Art v 1, Amb a 4, and Par h 1 are allergenic defensin‐polyproline–linked proteins present in mugwort, ragweed, and feverfew pollen, respectively. We aimed to investigate the physicochemical and immunological features underlying the different allergenic capacities of those allergens. Methods Recombinant defensin‐polyproline–linked proteins were expressed in E. coli and physicochemically...
