The Role of Anti-CCD Antibodies in Grape Allergy Diagnosis

Background: Allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. It is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. In this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-CCDs) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. Methods: Grape...
