The venom can also contain allergenic proteins that are otherwise known to set off a potentially lethal immune response in certain victims.

As noted above, the amount of the allergenic protein present on the dander and in saliva varies by breed.

These latex-rich environments may sensitize healthcare workers who regularly inhale allergenic proteins.

Many theoretically allergenic proteins cannot survive the destructive environment of the digestive tract and thus don't trigger hypersensitive reactions.

The problem seems to stem from a buildup of allergenic or irritating proteins on the lenses.

Vacuolar and alkaline serine proteases have been implicated as the major allergenic proteins.

It also contains a large variety of sugars, lipids, nucleic acids, and highly allergenic proteins.

Some scientists are trying similar approaches to remove allergenic proteins from foods.

Cooking eggplant thoroughly seems to preclude reactions in some individuals, but at least one of the allergenic proteins survives the cooking process.

Genetic engineering can be used to remove, or knock out, the genes responsible for producing the allergenic proteins.
