Cloning, Expression, and Immunological Characterization of Formosan Subterranean Termite (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) Arginine Kinase.

Several parts of the world regularly consume termites. Arthropod arginine kinase proteins often cross-react with human immunoblobulin E (IgE) antibodies and they are considered pan-allergens. The Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus (C.
