Abstract
Most plant food allergens belong to only 4 structural families, indicating that conserved structures and biological activities may play a role in determining or promoting allergenic properties. Structural bioinformatic analysis shows that conservation of 3-dimensional structure should be included in any assessment of potential IgE cross-reactivity in, for example, novel proteins.
