Identification and Characterization of IgE-Binding Tropomyosins in <b><i>Aedes aegypti</i></b>

Abstract

Tropomyosin is a new IgE-binding protein from A. aegypti. Two of the 4 variants identified showed different degree of cross-reactivity with tropomyosins from other arthropods. The potential allergenic role of each variant should be further investigated.
