“…Cry j I contains elaborate glycans with core xylose and α1,3-linked fucose, BG60 allergen contains core α1,3-linked fucose (but no xylose) and the PNGase F released glycans of Art v II are all of the oligomannose type. That α1,3-fucose and β1,2-xylose residues are more common in plants than just on the glycoproteins against which antisera have been prepared is evidenced by many studies such as those on legume lectins (Ashford et al, 1991), pineapple stem bromelain (van Kuik et al, 1986), bean phytohemagglutinin (Sturm et al, 1992), bean phaseolin (Sturm et al, 1987), mistletoe lectin (Debray et al, 1992), miraculin , red kidney bean purple acid phosphatase (Stahl et al, 1994), soybean peroxidase , zucchini ascorbate oxidase (Altmann, 1998), and Sophora japonica lectin (Fournet et al, 1987). β1,2-Xylosylated oligosaccharides lacking α1,3-linked fucose have been found in rice amylase oligosaccharides (Hayashi et al, 1990), zucchini ascorbate oxidase oligosaccharides (D'Andrea et al, 1988;Altmann, 1998), algal oligosaccharides (Balshüsemann and Jaenicke, 1990), and self-incompatibility ribonucleases of Nicotiana alata (Oxley et al, 1996), as well as on snail hemocyanin oligosaccharides (with core α1,6-fucose rather than α1,3-fucose; van Kuik et al, 1985).…”
