Lipid transfer proteins and thaumatins as relevant allergens in melon peel allergy. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2012 Sep;109(3):224-5. doi: 10.1016/j.anai.2012.06.023. Epub 2012 Jul 25.

Oral allergy syndrome after ingestion of pulp is the main manifestation; systemic reactions are rare. 1 Several allergens have been identified in pulp, as follows: cucumisin (Cuc m 1), 2 profilin (Cuc m 2), 3 pathogenesis-related protein (PR) of the PR-1 family (Cuc m 3), 4 malate dehydrogenase, 5 and phloem lectin (Lec 17-1). We report a patient with allergic symptoms after ingestion of melon pulp and after contact with melon peel.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.anai.2012.06.023https://www.annallergy.org/article/S1081-1206(12)00500-5/ppthttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1081120612005005restricted access616-056.3Lipid transfer proteinThaumatinAllergensMelon peel allergyMedicinaAlergología32 Ciencias Médicas3207 Patología3207.01 Alergias
