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 …

Several members of the plant non‐specific lipid transfer protein (LTP) family have been
identified as relevant allergens in foods and pollens. These allergens are highly resistant to …

Background: Peach allergy is highly prevalent in the Mediterranean area; it is persistent and
potentially severe, and therefore a prime target for immunotherapy. We aimed to study the …

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on the diagnosis and therapy of oral allergy
syndrome (OAS; also known as pollen-food allergy syndrome), a disorder caused by IgE …

Background Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (ns LTP s) represent a major cause of
systemic food allergic reactions in the Mediterranean area. This study investigate …

For the diagnosis of allergy, cellular basophil activation tests (BAT), eg histamine or
sulfidoleukotriene release tests, have long been introduced, but the expression of basophil …

The diagnosis of IgE‐mediated food allergy based solely on the clinical history and the
documentation of specific IgE to whole allergen extract or single allergens is often …

Oral food challenge (OFC) is the gold-standard to diagnose food allergy; however, it is a
labour and resource-intensive procedure with the risk of causing an acute allergic reaction …

BACKGROUND: Baker's asthma is a frequent occupational allergic disorder mainly caused
by inhalation of cereal flours. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) constitute a family of plant food …

BACKGROUND: Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are clinically relevant plant food panallergens
and have been proposed as ideal tools to study true food allergy. Pru p 3, the major peach …
