Comparisons of Allergenic and Metazoan Parasite Proteins: Allergy the Price of Immunity
Fig 7
A. Superposition of the 3D structure of timothy grass Phl p 1 (PDB accession: 1N10) (in green) and the 3D structural model of mite protein (in cyan). Epitope (allergen) and predicted epitopic-like regions (parasite protein) are depicted in the box. B. Sequence alignment of the epitopic region from Phleum pratense ‘Phl p 1’, a major timothy grass pollen allergen (UniProt accession: P43213) and predicted epitopic-like region from Mite group 2 allergen ‘Pso o 2’ protein (UniProt accession: Q965E2) from Psoroptes ovis.
