Abstract
The present invention relates to specific modified Equ c 1 polypeptides and to the use of such polypeptides as hypoallergens for desensitizing against horse allergy. Particularly, the present invention provides a recombinant hypoallergenic Equ c 1 polypeptide comprising at least two amino acid modifications compared to a corresponding wild type Equ c 1 allergen, wherein the recombinant hypoallergenic polypeptide activates release of histamine from basophils to a degree less than the wild type allergen.
