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 …

Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens.
These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions …

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 …

BACKGROUND: The body of sequence and structural information on allergens and the
sequence analysis of whole plant genomes are facilitating the application of bioinformatic …

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 …

Many allergens feature hydrophobic cavities that allow the binding of primarily hydrophobic
small‐molecule ligands. Ligand‐binding specificities can be strict or promiscuous. Serum …

Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are important allergens in fruits, vegetables, nuts,
pollen, and latex. Despite their wide distribution throughout the plant kingdom, their clinical …

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: Food allergy to wheat induces different symptoms as atopic eczema/dermatitis
syndrome (AEDS), urticaria and more severe reactions as wheat‐dependent exercise …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cruciferin (12S globulin), napin (2S albumin) and lipid
transfer proteins (LTP) were purified at a multi-g scale. The procedure developed was …
