Lipid‐transfer proteins as potential plant panallergens: cross‐reactivity among proteins of Artemisia pollen, Castanea nut and Rosaceae fruits, with different IgE‐binding capacities

Abstract

LTPs from Artemisia pollen and chestnut crossreact with allergens (LTPs) of Rosaceae fruits, but significant differences in specific IgE-binding capacities were observed among members of the plant LTP family. Thus, further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of the observed cross-reactivities of plant LTPs.
