The allergenic structure of allergen M from cod. III. Studies on the antigenicity of long-sequence peptides

Fragments TM 1 (75 amino acid residues) and TM 2 (38 amino acid residues), and 3 other polypeptides (range 16-25 amino acid residues) of Allergen M from cod were shown to be active in rabbit IgG-mediated reactions. The same peptides were previously found to possess reactivity in IgE-mediated reactions, thus suggesting a structural relationship between their antigenic and allergenic determinants.
