Epitope mapping. (a) Epitope profiles obtained by 12-mer pin bound peptides in IgE-ELISA with a pool of 7 sera from patients with allergic reactions. Data represent the means of duplicate experiments. (b) Specific IgE reactivity in 15 patients with cystic echinococcosis and allergic reactions by ELISA with the 100–111 peptide and a unrelated peptide (IRYPLTFGWCYK) as antigen. Data represent means ±s.d. of triplicate experiments. *Statistically significant differences by Student's t-test: P = 10⁻⁴.
