Fig 2 Cochineal allergen 38-kd protein cDNA and amino acid sequences. Amino acids identical to those sequenced from the 4 purified proteins are shaded. The predicted signal sequence is underlined. Four putative N-linked glycosylation sites are boxed. ∗Termination codon.

Fig 3 Sequence alignment of cochineal allergen protein with vespid venom phospholipase allergens that showed homology by National Center for Biotechnology Information homology analysis. Residues conserved in all proteins are dark gray, and those conserved in at least 4 sequences are light gray. Insertions made to maximize alignment are indicated by a dash.
