Introduction
Egg allergy accounts for one of the most prevalent food hypersensitivities in industrialized countries. The majority of the relevant egg allergens have been identified in the egg white: ovomucoid (Gal d 1), a Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor; ovoalbumin (Gal d 2), a serine protease inhibitor; ovotransferrin (Gal d 3); and the egg lysozyme (Gal d 4). Lysozymes have primarily a bacteriolytic function; those in tissues and body fluids are associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhance the activity of immunoagents. Has bacteriolytic activity against M.luteus.
Antigen Description
Recombinant Chicken Gal d 4 is produced by Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Lys19-Leu147 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
