Background Oral allergy syndrome to sapodilla plum is caused by a 21 kD allergen existing as two isoforms: an acidic thaumatin-like protein (TLP-1) and a basic thaumatin-like protein (TLP-2). The composite sequence of TLP-1 comprising the N-terminal sequence 1-7 (A-T-F-D-V/I-V-N-) and the deduced sequence 8-207 (GenBank JN624813.1) was used for this analysis. The major objective of this study w...
