differentiate allergens from their non-immunogenic counterparts. This review will focus on …

Background The major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, is a member of the ubiquitous PR-10
family of plant pathogenesis-related proteins. In recent years, a number of diverse plant …

Allergic sensitization is a multifactorial process that is not only influenced by the allergen
and its biological function per se but also by other small molecular compounds, such as …

The major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 is the main elicitor of airborne type I allergies and
