Identification of a plane pollen lipid transfer protein (Pla a 3) and its immunological relation to the peach lipid‐transfer protein, Pru p 3

Abstract

Plane LTP is a major allergen in plane pollen-allergic patients with peach allergy recruited in the Mediterranean area. The results of histamine release tests and different IgE-binding profiles pointed towards the existence of species-specific IgE epitopes. Likewise, no general conclusion on the sensitizer could be made.
