title: Identification of latex UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase (Hev b UDPGP) as a novel cause of latex fruit allergy syndrome.
abstract: Based on a recently published unusual ase of food allergy in a latex-allergic patients, the present study identifies Hev b UDPGP as a novel allergen in natural rubber latex able to cause latex-fruit allergy syndrome and as a novel, potential pan-allergen in vegetable foods.
