| Situations of cross-contamination, cross-reactivity, and cross-hybridization all point to the benefit of evaluating an assay for false-positive and false-negative results. |
| A high degree of cross-reactivity has been demonstrated between olive tree, ash and privet and all members of the Oleaceae family. |
| Because of the possibility of cross-reactivity, patients with immediate hypersensitivity to penicillin should not be treated with a cephalosporin. |
| Due to the presence of the panallergen profilin a certain degree of cross-reactivity to other plant allergens may be expected. |
| An extensive cross-reactivity among different individual species of wheat as well as some cross-reactivity to grass pollens could be expected. |
| In contrast, hydrophobic driven binding and low levels of electrostatic interactions are associated with conformational flexibility and cross-reactivity. |
