LOPEZ, Camila et al. Hevea brasiliensis as a allergenic source: A literature review. Rev. alerg. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.70, n.3, pp.146-158.  Epub 09-Sep-2023. ISSN 2448-9190.  https://doi.org/10.29262/ram.v70i3.1236.

Hevea brasiliensis, a plant species used extensively for rubber extraction, is a common allergenic source that can cause sensitization and allergic reactions. Recent immunological studies have characterized various allergenic components of Hevea brasiliensis that possess diverse immune and biochemical properties. Over ten types of allergens have been identified, each with varying capacities to induce allergic symptoms. This review presents the current advances in the study of this allergenic source.
