In addition, no IgE cross-reactivity could be detected between human sera (from asthmatic patients from an area where ascariasis is endemic and exposure to mites is common) probed with recombinant Ascaris ABA-1 and mite fatty-acid binding proteins (FABPs), thus suggesting that parasites are solely responsible for allergic reactions against this protein [51]. The gene discussed is GOT2; the disease is ascariasis.
