Tomato has become one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide, but its intake is often accompanied by an increasing risk of inducing allergic symptoms. The aim of the work was the identification of new seed-specific allergens associated with severe symptoms in patients allergic to this edible

METHODS The aim was to investigate the potential contribution of a major birch pollen Bet v 1-homologous allergen to birch pollen-associated tomato fruit allergy. RESULTS Two isoforms of a Bet v 1-homologous protein (designated Sola l 4) from tomato fruit were identified by cDNA-cloning and produced

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide. However, tomato allergies in patients suffering from birch pollen allergy occur frequently. Due to highly similar protein structures of the tomato allergen Sola l 4 and the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1,

A novel and disposable electrochemical biosensor for PCR-free and selective detection of Sola l 7, a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) found in tomato seeds associated to severe symptoms of tomato-allergic patients, is reported in this work. The methodology involves the formation of

Eggplant or brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is widely consumed worldwide and thought to trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. So far, no molecular information is available on the allergy-eliciting components of eggplant. In this study, a 17 kDa profilin, Sola m 1, was identified from

BACKGROUND Tomato allergies have been extensively studied but component-resolved in vivo diagnosis with purified allergens has yet to be performed. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of sensitization to Sola l 3 in a Mediterranean population, and to compare the resulting sensitization profile with

Allergic reactions caused by 9kDa Lipid Transfer Proteins (9k-LTP), such as Pru p 3, have been widely investigated, whereas a possible contribution of components of 7kDa LTP (7k-LTP) sub-family in triggering allergic symptoms has been overlooked so far. With the aim to investigate the contribution

The production of specific antibodies able to recognize allergens from different sources or block interactions between allergens and antibodies mediating allergic reactions is crucial for developing successful tools for diagnostics and therapeutics. Panallergens are highly conserved proteins present
