Red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), a protein rich legume, is consumed globally due to its delicacy. This study was aimed to purify, characterize and assess allergenicity of one of its clinically relevant allergens, later identified as phaseolin. This study was carried out using clinical, in
Three-dimensional models of the major vicilin allergens from peanut (Ara h 1), lentil (Len c 1) and pea (Pis s 1), were built by homology-based modelling from the X-ray coordinates of the structurally closely related soybean beta-conglycinin. All the allergen monomers exhibit the typical cupin motif
BACKGROUND
The prevalence of IgE mediated food allergies has increased over the last two decades. Food allergy has been reported to be fatal in highly sensitive individuals. Legumes are important food allergens but their prevalence may vary among different populations. The present study identifies
BACKGROUND
Multiple allergens have been documented in soybean extracts. IgE from individuals allergic to soybeans, but not to peanut, has been shown by immunoblot analysis to bind to proteins with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kD. These findings suggested that this unique protein fraction
