J Allergy Clin Immunol 127(1):3 (2011) PMID 20719373

Analysis of IgE to rApi m 1 and rVes v 5 both devoid of crossreactive carbohydrate determinants improves diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy in patients that display double positivity in venom extract based immunoassays.

    Plectin, a large multidomain adhesive protein with versatile binding functions, is expressed in a number of tissues and cell types. In the skin, plectin is a critical component of hemidesmosomes, interacting with keratin intermediate filaments and beta4 integrin. Mutations in the plectin gene (PLEC1...
