Abstract
The well characterized castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) allergens were identified as the low MW albumin storage proteins in the matrix of the protein bodies in the endosperm. The methods of identification involved MW estimation, amino acid composition, stability at 100.degree. C, solubility in various solvents, gel electrophoresis and immunological techniques. The finding explains the wide distribution of allergens in various seeds.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
