Biochemical and immunological characterisation of Act d 10 a lipid transfer proteins from green kiwifruit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Pulp and seeds of green kiwifruit were manually separated and homogenized. Act d 10 was purified from seed extracts by ion exchange chromatography and RPHPLC, and sequenced by an automatic amino acid sequencer. Act d 10 was evaluated in vivo by skin prick test (SPT) and in vitro by detecting IgE using streptavidin-conjugated CAP (Phadia, Sweden). Act d 10 was spotted on a customized ISAC microarray (PMD, Austria) for evaluating IgE prevalence in a larger cohort of allergic patients.

Allergenic Lipid Transfer Proteins from Plant-Derived Foods Do Not Immunologically and Clinically Behave Homogeneously: The Kiwifruit LTP as a Model
BACKGROUND Food allergy is increasingly common worldwide. Tools for allergy diagnosis measuring IgE improved much since allergenic molecules and microarrays started to be used. IgE response toward allergens belonging to the same group of molecules has not been comprehensively explored using such approach yet. OBJECTIVE Using the model of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) from plants as allergens...
متن کاملEvaluation of biochemical differences and Immunological effects of LPS and Lipid A extracted from Brucella strains
Background: The intrinsic heterogeneity determination in Brucella Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is important for explaining its chemicalnature and biological behavior. This is significant for practical purposes, since LPS is the most relevant antigen during infectionand vaccination.Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to compare biochemical and immunological differences of LPS and lipid ...

متن کاملKiwifruit Allergy in Children: Characterization of Main Allergens and Patterns of Recognition
Kiwifruit allergy has been described mostly in the adult population, but immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated allergic reactions to kiwifruit appear to be occurring more frequently in children. To date, 13 allergens from kiwifruit have been identified. Our aim was to identify kiwifruit allergens in a kiwifruit allergic-pediatric population, describing clinical manifestations and patterns of recognitio...
متن کاملDetailed characterization of Act d 12 and Act d 13 from kiwi seeds: implication in IgE cross-reactivity with peanut and tree nuts.
BACKGROUND Act d 12 (11S globulin) and Act d 13 (2S albumin) are two novel relevant allergens from kiwi seeds that might be useful to improve the diagnostic sensitivity and the management of kiwifruit-allergic patients. OBJECTIVE To perform a comprehensive structural and immunological characterization of purified Act d 12 and Act d 13 from kiwi seeds. METHODS Sera from 55 well-defined kiwif...
