Panel A: Tests leading to kiwifruit LTP suspected reactivity are reported.

APC: Allergome Personal Code used in the InterAll e-record.

° Double Blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge; GI: gastro-intestinal tract symptoms including vomiting and abdominal pain; OAS: oral allergy syndrome; URT: Urticaria.

*Results of skin testing performed with green kiwifruit are expressed as mm2.

**ISAC and CAP IgE results are expressed as kU/l.

Panel B: In vivo and in vitro results of kiwifruit LTP testing are reported.

APC: Allergome Personal Code used in the InterAll e-record.

*Results of skin testing are expressed in mm2.

**ISAC and CAP IgE results are expressed as kU/l. A streptavidin-CAP has been used for kiwifruit LTP IgE detection.
