In table 3 “Individual allergens of other arthropods identified according to the IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee” (p. 176) in the segment Chironomus thummi thummi (red chironomid larvae)“ the haemoglobin component I/IA is attributed to the allergen Chi t 2, not to the allergen Chi t 1. The correct segment of table 3 should read as follows.
Allergen | Name | Molecular weight (kDa) |
---|---|---|
Chironomus thummi thummi a, c, d, e, f (Red chironomid larvae) |
![]() |
|
Chi t 1 | Haemoglobin component III/IV | 16 |
Chi t 2 | Haemoglobin component I/IA | 16 |
Chi t 3 | Haemoglobin components II-β, VI, VIII, IX | 16 |
Chi t 4 | Haemoglobin component IIIA | 16 |
Chi t 9 | Haemoglobin component X | 16 |
