Antibody Cross-Reactivity between Proteins of Chia Seed ( Salvia hispanica L.) and Other Food Allergens.

Chia seeds are becoming increasingly common in Europe because of their functional and nutritional properties. Despite this, few studies have focused on the allergic potential and antibody cross-reactivity among storage proteins in chia seed and other plants. The aim of this study was to identify chia seed's immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding proteins ( Salvia hispanica L.
