A Review of Honeybee Venom Allergens and Allergenicity [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Honeybee venom is a source of proteins with allergenic properties which can result in in various symptoms, ranging from local reactions through to systematic life-threatening anaphylaxis, or even death. According to the World Allergy Organization (WAO), honeybee venom allergy is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis.

Allergen Peptides, Recombinant Allergens and Hypoallergens for Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy [PDF]
Current Treatment Options in Allergy, 2014 Allergic diseases are among the most common health issues worldwide. Specific immunotherapy has remained the only disease-modifying treatment, but it is not effective in all patients and may cause side effects. Over the last 25 years, allergen molecules from most prevalent allergen sources have been isolated and produced as recombinant proteins.
