Until now, only a small amount of information is available about tomato allergens. In the present study, a glycosylated allergen of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), Lyc e 2, was purified from tomato extract by a two-step FPLC method. The cDNA of two different isoforms of the protein, Lyc e 2.01 and
The ripening inhibitor (rin) mutant tomato yields non-ripening fruit, and the rin hybrid fruit (RIN/rin) shows an intermediate phenotype between the wild and mutant fruit, that is, red-ripe and extended shelf life. We found by a microarray analysis that the genes encoding possible allergenic
BACKGROUND
The clinical relevance of IgE specific for cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) has been a matter of controversy. Until now, no convincing experiments have been performed to test the biologic significance of individual multivalent allergens that carry multiple carbohydrate
BACKGROUND
Although the tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) has been widely investigated for breeding purposes, there have been few studies on tomato allergenicity. We attempted to identify the tomato fruit allergens and to compare the concentrations of IgE-binding proteins among the different
