We investigated the added value provided by the 8-amino-acid criterion over that provided by the >35%-identity-over-80-amino-acid criterion, by identifying allergens pairs that only met the former criterion, but not the latter criterion. We found that the allergen-sequence pairs only sharing 8-amino-acid identity, but not >35% identity over 80 amino acids, were unlikely to be cross reactive allergens. Thus, the common search for 8-amino-acid identity between novel proteins and known allergens appears to be of little additional value in assessing the potential allergenicity of novel proteins.]]> Characterization of Regulatory T cells in Urban Newborns http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/8 Genetics of asthma: a molecular biologist perspective http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/7 An extract of the medicinal mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill can protect against allergy http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/6 T regulatory cells: an overview and intervention techniques to modulate allergy outcome http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/5 Food hypersensitivity by inhalation http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/4 Mapping IgE-binding epitopes of Cyn d 1, a major allergen from Bermuda Grass Pollen (BGP) http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/3 Novel concepts in virally induced asthma http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/2 Should digestion assays be used to estimate persistence of potential allergens in tests for safety of novel food proteins? http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/7/1/1 Anaphylaxis to husband's seminal plasma and treatment by local desensitization http://www.clinicalmolecularallergy.com/content/6/1/13
