Murine model identifies tropomyosin as IgE cross-reactive protein between house dust mite and coho salmon that possibly contributes to the development of salmon allergy

ConclusionOur results showed IgE cross-reactivity of tropomyosin between Dermatophagoides and coho salmon which illustrates salmon allergy following sensitization with the house dust mite Dermatophagoides. Our method for identifying IgE cross-reactive allergens will help understand the underlying mechanisms of food allergies.
