Food Allergens

This detailed volume provides a comprehensive collection of methods and protocols in food allergy and food allergens studies. The selected protocols explore the study of food allergens from recombinant production purification procedures IgE and T cell epitopes characterization to allergen structure description cellular responses and tolerance induction through a variety of techniques and animal models. Written for the highly successful <i>Methods in Molecular Biology</i> series chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. <div><br></div><div>Authoritative and practical <i>Food Allergens: Methods and Protocols</i> serves as an ideal reference for scientists at all stages involved in the study of food allergy and allergenic components.<br></div>
