High impact information on Wasps

Sequence analysis and antigenic cross-reactivity of a venom allergen, antigen 5, from hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets [1].
The bombolitins represent a unique structural class of peptides but they have the same biological properties as melittin (from honeybees), mastoparan (wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets), and crabrolin (European hornets) [2].
Phospholipases (PLs) isolated from the venoms of three species of yellow jackets, white-faced hornets, European hornets, and paper wasps were studied by peptide mapping after limited enzyme hydrolyses and cyanogen bromide cleavage [3].
Inflammatory role of two venom components of yellow jackets (Vespula vulgaris): a mast cell degranulating peptide mastoparan and phospholipase A1 [4].
