Notes:

- Wild type refers to recombinant, unmodified proteins.

- P-value reflects comparison of not reactive to reactive at baseline using the exact Wilcoxon test.

- Results for wild type, native, and modified proteins represent OD assessments at 1:100 dilutions

- Ara h 1, Ara h 2, and Ara h 3 were analyzed with ImmunoCAP at baseline only and not at Week 20.
