Preparation and Identification of Per a 5 as a Novel American Cockroach Allergen

Figure 7

Induction of basophil activation by iPer a 5 and bPer a 5. After nonspecific IgE on basophils being stripped off, cells from each donor were passively sensitized with sera from 4 different healthy subjects (a) or from 4 different patients with American CR allergy (b) and were then challenged with iPer a 5 and bPer a 5 at 1.0 μg/mL. The values shown are mean ± SEM for the sera from 4 different subjects. * in comparison with the corresponding carrier alone control.
