Sarcoplasmic calcium‐binding protein and alcohol dehydrogenase, new occupational allergens in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

The only I D i . I melanogaster i allergen confirmed until now is LSP-2 (hexamerin),5 and however, the identification of this allergen was only shown by comparing the IgE immunoblot band pattern with the biding profile of an anti-LSP-2 antibody. This protein is a relevant allergen described in Crustacea.7 Although patient did not refer allergic symptoms after eating shellfish, sensitization was not determined because she refused a prick-by-prick test with shrimp. Only two ADHs have been described as allergens to date, both from fungi; Cand a 1, in I Candida albicans i 9 and Cur l ADH in I Curvularia lunata i .10 ADHs are glycolytic enzymes involved in NAD+regeneration and in the I D i .
