Genetic modification removes an immunodominant allergen from soybean.
The increasing use of soybean (Glycine max) products in processed foods poses a potential threat to soybean-sensitive food-allergic individuals. In vitro assays on soybean seed proteins with sera from soybean-sensitive individuals have immunoglobulin E reactivity to abundant storage proteins and a few less-abundant seed proteins. One of these low abundance proteins, Gly m Bd 30 K, also referred...
متن کاملAllergenic proteins in soybean: processing and reduction of P34 allergenicity.
Soybean ranks among the "big 8" of the most allergenic foods, and with increasing consumption of soybean products, the incidence of soy-caused allergies is expected to escalate. Soybean and its derivatives have become ubiquitous in vegetarian and many meat-based food products, and as a result, dietary avoidance has become difficult. However, soybeans can be manipulated in a variety of ways to a...
متن کاملGenetically modified soybeans and food allergies.
Allergenic reactions to proteins expressed in GM crops has been one of the prominent concerns among biotechnology critics and a concern of regulatory agencies. Soybeans like many plants have intrinsic allergens that present problems for sensitive people. Current GM crops, including soybean, have not been shown to add any additional allergenic risk beyond the intrinsic risks already present. Bio...
متن کاملThe Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus group 2 allergen contains a universally immunogenic T cell epitope.
The use of T cell epitope-containing peptides for the induction of anergy in allergen sensitization is limited by genetic restriction that could be circumvented by using universally immunogenic epitopes. We attempted to identify such epitopes on Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus group 2 allergen (Der p 2), a major allergen of D. pteronyssinus T cells from BALB/c (H-2(d)), C57BL/6 (H-2(b)), C3H (H-...
متن کاملProduction of hypoallergenic plant foods by selection, breeding and genetic modification
A set of plant-breeding technologies on the reduction of the allergenicity of food, i.c. the production of hypoallergenic apple cultivars by selection, breeding and genetic modification, is elaborated. The results of extended genomics and gene-mapping research on apple allergen genes (Mal d 1; Mal d 2 (TLP); Mal d 3 (nsLTP); Mal d 4 (profilin)) are supporting to these techniques. The RNAi appro...
