Background Adverse reactions to food include immune mediated food allergies and non‐
immune mediated food intolerances. Food allergies and intolerances are often confused by …

Allergic rhinitis is a symptomatic disorder of the nose induced after allergen exposure by an
immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated inflammation of the membranes lining the nose (1). It was …

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

BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis represents a global health problem affecting 10% to 20% of
the population. The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines have been …

Allergic rhinitis is clinically defined as a symptomatic disorder of the nose induced by an IgE-
mediated inflammation after allergen exposure of the membranes lining the nose. Symptoms …

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 …

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 …

Plant food allergens can be classified into families and superfamilies on the basis of their
structural and functional properties. The most widespread groups of plant proteins that …

Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies are divided into primary and secondary
food allergies, which can vary in severity.–Primary food allergies arise primarily (most likely) …

Molecular biology and biochemical techniques have significantly advanced the knowledge
of allergens derived from plant foods. Surprisingly, many of the known plant food allergens …
