3. FIG. 2
IgE immunoblotting with patients' sera. Selected patterns of sera from patients with latex allergy without (no. 15) or with an associated fruit allergy (nos. 32 to 35). B, Banana; A, avocado pear; L, natural latex.

4. FIG. 3
Representative immunoblot patterns of reactivity observed in inhibition studies. Serum from patient 35 was preincubated with 50 μg each of banana (first panel), avocado pear (second panel), and latex extract (third panel), then tested in immunoblot versus banana (lane B), avocado pear (lane A) , and latex (lane L). Lane C shows the initial pattern without preincubation.
