[Cross-reactivity between bromelain and soluble fraction from wheat flour].
It is revealed that patients allergic to a water-soluble fraction from wheat flour were sensitive to pineapple enzyme, bromelain. Since bromelain has a high similarity to other SH-proteases such as papain, it may imply that the patients may recognize varieties of other SH-proteases as the epitope.
