6FRR - PubMed Abstract: 
Non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are important allergens in fruits, pollen, vegetables, nuts and latex. Due to their compact structure, LTPs are highly resistant to heat treatment. Here, Art v 3 from mugwort pollen and Pru p 3 from peach were used as model allergens to in-depth investigate structural and immunological properties upon thermal treatment at different buffer conditions.
