Abstract
The present invention is drawn to an immunogen derived from a protein allergen, which is a) a non-anaphylactic immunogenic recombinant fragment of the protein allergen which contains an IgG epitope partly but not wholly overlapping an IgE epitope of the protein allergen; b) a polymeric form of the fragment, in which the fragment constitutes the monomeric units; or c) a non-anaphylactic recombinant polymeric form of the protein allergen having 2–10 monomeric units, in which the protein allergen constitutes the monomeric units. The present invention is further drawn to the use of the immunogen for in vitro diagnoses of type I allergy and hyposensitization.
