- Berthelot K et al (2014) Hevea brasiliensis REF (Hev b 1) and SRPP (Hev b 3): An overview on rubber particle proteins. Biochemistry 106:1-9.
- Galicia C et al (2015) Impact of the vulcanization process on the structural characteristics and IgE recognition of two allergens, Hev b 2 and Hev b 6.02, extracted from latex surgical gloves. Mol immunol 65: 250-258.
- Hev b 1 (Rubber Elongation Factor): late-type particle-bound protein involved in rubber synthesis.
- Hev b 1 and Hev b 6: for both proteins, a high degree (>70%) of sensitization is observed in health care workers.
- Hev b 1, Hev b 3, Hev b 5: for these proteins, a high degree of sensitization is observed in spina bifida patients.
- Hev b 7 (patatin-like protein) shows sequence homologies with the patatins of the nightshade family (Solanaceae - potatoes and tomatoes are included).
- Hev b 6 (prohevein): is responsible for a cross-reaction between latex and the ascarola cherry (see Latex Fruit Syndrome)
- Hev b 8 (latex profilin): is responsible for a cross-reaction between latex and sweet chestnut (see latex-fruit syndrome)
