Summary:RATIONALE: Since hardy kiwifruit (Acintinidia arguta) is now cultivated in western North America, we tested protein extracts of hardy, green (Actinidia deliciosa) and gold (Actinidia chinensis) kiwifruit for IgE binding using sera from individuals with clinically diagnosed food allergies to green kiwifruit, to evaluate potential cross-reactivity.
