Used in research settings to detect and quantify nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) in plant samples. Helps assess allergen levels in crops, particularly in fruits, nuts, and grains where nsLTPs act as major allergens. Supports food safety studies by identifying potential allergenic risks in new plant varieties or processed foods. Enables researchers to monitor changes in nsLTP expression under different growth conditions, stress responses, or genetic modifications. Widely applied in agricultural biotechnology and allergen immunology to improve crop safety and understand plant defense mechanisms.
