Known allergen structures predict Schistosoma mansoni IgE binding antigens in human infection
The IgE response has been associated with both allergic reactions and immunity to metazoan parasites. Recently we hypothesized that all environmental allergens bear structural homology to IgE binding antigens from metazoan parasites and that this homology defines the relatively small number of prote...
