An allergenic polypeptide representing a variable region of <i>hsp</i> 70 cloned from a cDNA library of <i>Cladosporium herbarum</i>

Abstract

These results indicate that amino acid substitutions are relatively conserved even in the variable C-terminal regions of hsp 70 species. Thus, this study should draw attention to the possibility of induction of anaphylactic responses in a sensitized individual when hsp 70 from any pathogenic species is administered for vaccination.
