MeSH note : 105 amino acids, MW 10.5 kDa, shows the classical signature of members of the hydrophobin
family; the recombinant protein was able to bind IgE from six patients sensitized
to fungi in vitro, two of those patients were also included in a skin prick test survey
and showed strong type I skin reactions to HCh-1, demonstrating the allergenic nature
of C. herbarum hydrophobin and indicating a prevalence of sensitization in the range
of 8-9%; amino acid sequence in first source;
MeSH synonym : HCh-1 hydrophobin, C herbarum; HFBI hydrophobin I, Cladosporium herbarum;
