Pru p 3 as a marker for symptom severity for patients with peach allergy in a birch pollen environment

The same North-South sensitization pattern was recently observed for apple allergy during the EC-funded project SAFE, demonstrating that Mal d 1 (Bet v 1 homolog) mainly elicited mild allergic reactions in Austrian patients with apple allergy, and Mal d 3 (nsLTP) was the elicitor of more severe reac...

Description
Summary:The same North-South sensitization pattern was recently observed for apple allergy during the EC-funded project SAFE, demonstrating that Mal d 1 (Bet v 1 homolog) mainly elicited mild allergic reactions in Austrian patients with apple allergy, and Mal d 3 (nsLTP) was the elicitor of more severe reactions in a Spanish population.3 In the recent past, clinicians from allergy clinics in Austria reported cases of severe allergic symptoms after ingestion of peach or other Rosaceae fruits. [...]we investigated a group of Austrian patients with Rosaceae allergy for their allergen sensitization pattern. According to positive skin prick test and CAP results, BP allergy was found in 41 patients.
