Fig 1 A, SDS-PAGE after Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 staining: lane A, HSP; lane M, molecular mass marker. B, IgE immunoblotting: lane P, patient serum; lane C, control serum (pool from nonatopic subject sera). The + and − symbols indicate the presence and absence of β-mercaptoethanol, respectively.

Fig 3 IgE immunoblotting inhibition: lane C, control serum (pool from nonatopic subject sera); lane 1, patient serum; lane 2, patient serum previously incubated with HSP; lane 3, patient serum previously incubated with dog dander extract; lane 4, patient serum previously incubated with lamb extract; lane M, molecular mass markers. Samples are without β-mercaptoethanol.
