Predicting the allergenicity of legume proteins using a PBMC gene expression assay

Abstract Background Food proteins differ in their allergenic potential. Currently, there is no predictive and validated bio-assay to evaluate the allergenicity of novel food proteins. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of a human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gen...
