title: [Study on the allergens of shrimps and crabs].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the allergen composition in the species of shrimp and crab.
  
  
  METHODS
  The main allergens of shrimps and crabs were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The molecule weight of main allergic protein in shrimps was near to 36 000, and the main allergic proteins in different kinds of crabs were about 29 000, 36 000, 66 000, 89 000 molecule weight.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There are common allergens among different kinds of shrimps and crabs.
