Study of allergens obtained from vegetables, fruit and berries

Mechnikov Research Institute for Vaccines and Sera, Moscow, Russia

Different methods of obtaining allergens from vegetables, fruit and berries have been evaluated. Two technologies for obtaining food allergens have been considered; of these, Coca’s method has proved to be more technological, economical and less labor-consuming. The newly developed technology has made it possible to obtain stable, safe and specifically active allergens which may be used for diagnosing food allergy.
