Λεξικό .. allergy to grape

Few allergic reactions to grape are reported in the literature. In some cases an association with peach and cherry allergy was observed. Grape and wine might cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive patients. The major allergens of grape are endochitinase 4A, which is also the allergen of wine, the thaumatin-like protein (TLP)  and a lipid-transfer protein LTP (LTP; Vit v 1) cross-reacting with the peach major allergen [1] . Severe grape allergy presents in atopic patients who frequently react to other LTP-containing, plant-derived foods [2].
