Abstract

A diagnostically useful carrier includes a means for specifically capturing an antibody to a polypeptide from the group including squid MLC1 or squid MLC2 or a variant thereof in a sample from a subject. A method includes the step detecting in a sample from a subject the presence or absence of an antibody to squid MLC1 or squid MLC2. The polypeptide or the carrier or a polypeptide binding specifically to an IgE antibody from the sample of a patient to squid MLC1 or squid MLC2 are useful for the manufacture of a diagnostic kit, preferably for the diagnosis of allergy.
