Abstract
A barley salt-soluble protein of 14.5 kDa, which inhibits the α-amylase from the insect Tenebrio molitor , has been identified as a major IgE-binding component of sera from baker's asthma patients. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this protein indicates that it is a member of a previously described family of α-amylase/trypsin inhibitors.Keywords
