Component-resolved diagnostics of plant-food allergens

The table shows how the component-resolved diagnostics can be used to estimate the risk of anaphylaxis (Ana) in a patient sensitized to various pollen-related plant allergens. Patients who are sensitized to allergens in the profilin and pathogenesis-related-protein-10 (PRP-10) groups (shown in green and purple) have a relatively low risk of anaphylaxis. Those sensitized to lipid transfer proteins (shown in orange) have an intermediate risk. The highest rate of anaphylaxis is observed in patients sensitized to more stable proteins that are not cross-reactive with pollen allergens, such as storage seed proteins, albumins, and globulins (shown in yellow). The specific allergens circled in red have been implicated in systemic reactions.
