Process for the preparation of hypoallergenic mosaic antigens

摘要

A process for the preparation of an hypoallergenic mosaic antigen derived from an allergen is disclosed whereby a) in a first step the allergen is split into at least two parts and the IgE reactivity of each part is determined and b) in a second step those parts of the allergen which have no detectable IgE reaction are combined to a mosaic antigen which comprises the amino acids of the allergen but the order of the amino acids of the mosaic antigen is different from that of the naturally occurring allergen.
