In Table II, the epitope residues cited for Equ c 1 are incorrect. The corrected table is shown below.
In Discussion, in the last sentence of the fifth paragraph, inclusion of Equ c 1 and the respective citation (Ref. 31) are incorrect. The second sentence of the sixth paragraph has also been revised. The corrected sentences are shown below.
In addition to the group 13 dust mite allergen, other studies have also used a similar approach to generate hypoallergens by mutating specific surface residues on allergens, including Bet v 1 (10) and Hev b 6.02 (30).
In Equ c 1, regions of the protein mapped as IgE binding epitopes consist mostly of charged and polar residues.
