Allergenome profiling of Vespa orientalis venom by serum IgE in patients with anaphylactic reaction to this hornet sting

CONCLUSIONS: Broadening our knowledge of V. orientalis venom constituents can contribute to improvements in diagnostic and immunotherapeutic techniques, both of which are dependent on the major allergens in venom extract. This information is also potentially helpful to develop medical uses of major allergens in this venom to improve the diagnostic specificity and the efficacy of immunotherapy.PMID:35613656 | DOI:10.1016/j.toxicon.2022.05.039
