Abstract

In this chapter, five popular allergen databases have been described: (1) Allergome is based on basic and clinical information on allergens causing an IgE-mediated disease; (2) AllergenOnline allows online search of peer-reviewed allergen list; (3) International Union of Immunological Societies Allergen nomenclature subcommittee database contains systematic nomenclature and molecular details of well-characterized allergens; (4) AllFam allows classifying allergens into protein families based on domain information; and (5) SDAP provides in detail structural information of the allergens.
