In a multi-methodological approach, specific molecular factors influencing the allergenicity of the birch pollen-associated apple allergen Mal d 1 were investigated. The Mal d 1 content was determined in apple genotypes of different crossbreeding populations using an indirect competitive ELISA. Proteomics revealed peptide/isoform markers that may be affiliated with hypo- and hyperallergenic properties. Moreover, ligands of Mal d 1 with binding affinities in the low micromolar range were identified.
