Abstract
Specific IgE against extracts of Sitophilus granarius (S.G.), the most important mill storage vermin, was detected by Western-Blot-technique and RAST-FEIA in 8 out of 53 sera from bakers suffering from occupati onal air-way diseases. No specific IgE could be detected in sera from control groups. These findings suggest that S.G. could act as relevant allergen for at least a part of bakers with occupational airway disea ses.
