Adverse food reactions include immune-mediated food allergies and non-immune-mediated
intolerances. However, this distinction and the involvement of different pathogenetic …

Background Discovered and described 40 years ago, non‐specific lipid transfer proteins
(nsLTP) are present in many plant species and play an important role protecting plants from …

The availability of allergen molecules ('components') from several protein families has
advanced our understanding of immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated responses and enabled …

Plant non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins present in
abundance in higher plants. They are involved in key processes of plant cytology, such as …

Background Multiple plant‐food sensitizations with a complex pattern of clinical
manifestations are a common feature of lipid transfer protein (LTP)‐allergic patients …

ABSTRACT Introduction Allergies affect 20-30% of the population and respiratory allergies
are mostly due to pollen grains from anemophilous plants. One to 5% of people suffer from …

Among a variety of molecular factors of the plant innate immune system, small proteins that
transfer lipids and exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities are of particular interest …

Plant non-specific LTPs (lipid transfer proteins) form a protein family of basic polypeptides of
9 kDa ubiquitously distributed throughout the plant kingdom. The members of this family are …

The non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are small, basic proteins characterized by a
tunnel-like hydrophobic cavity, capable of transferring various lipid molecules between lipid …

Abstract Purpose of Review To provide an overview of the prevalence and clinical
manifestation of non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTP)-mediated allergies outside the …
