Allergen Context: Understanding Natural Variability
12
Many non-GM reference samples help establish
the concentration range for a new protein (i.e.,
allergen) that has clinical implications; particularly
when employing quantitative approaches
Why is this important ?
ug of allergen per mg protein
If a protein is being characterized
for the first time, it is critical to
validate the population for its
“normal” content
In the future – the quantity of an
allergen could potentially be
correlated to threshold exposure
