Key amino acid substitutions throughout the Ole e 1 and Ole e 1-like sequences analyzed. Key substitutions analyzed include: conserved Cys residues, an extra site for potential N-glycosylation, point substitutions in those motifs described like immunodominant T-cell epitopes of Ole e 1 allergen [24], and amino acid residues implicated in IgG and IgE binding [25]. Deduced sequences fully identical to the canonical sequence of Ole e 1 obtained after Edman degradation [20] are marked by a double asterisk.
