Characterization of IgE Binding to Lupin, Peanut and Almond with Sera from Lupin-Allergic Patients

Abstract: Background: The increasing number of applications of sweet lupins in food is paralleled by an increase in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reactions to lupin proteins. In particular, lupin allergy seems to appear in patients with an existing peanut allergy. In the present study, IgE-binding studies towards fractionated lupin seed proteins, and peanut and almond proteins were performed using sera from patients with confirmed lupin allergy. Methods:Immunoblotting and indirect ELISA were performed to inve… Show more

“…The sera from all fish-allergic patients and healthy controls were screened for IgE-binding activity as described elsewhere [26]. Briefly, ELISA plates were coated with 10 µg/ml fish extract/negative control (equine myoglobin; Sigma-Aldrich), or 40 µg/ml of fish hydrolysate.…”

“…Membranes were incubated overnight with individual patient sera (diluted 1:5–1:100), selected on the basis of IgE-binding activity in the indirect screening ELISA (hydrolysates incubated with serum pool, 1:20). Blots were further developed as described elsewhere [26]. Tris-buffered saline/0.05% Tween-20 containing 5% horse serum (Gibco, Paisley, UK) was used as blocking buffer, and the same buffer with 0.5 m M Ca 2+ was used as assay buffer.…”

“…The main lupin proteins able to bind IgE antibodies of allergic individuals are characterised by molecular weights in the range of 43-45 kDa [6,9,10]. However, similar effects may also be caused by other lupin proteins characterised by different molecular weight, i.e., 13 kDa [6], 29 kDa [11], 34 kDa [12], 38 kDa [8], and 66 kDa [13].…”
