Identification of the major allergenic proteins from silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) involved in respiratory allergic diseases.

CONCLUSION: Six major reactive proteins by immunoblot analysis from moth's wings sensitized patients can be potential allergens. The one at 80 kDa is the major protein, seen in all IgE-reactive patients from group 1 and in none from group 2, yet to be identified. Future studies should be conducted to better characterize these proteins. PMID: 32284266 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
