Precise content of gliadin (Glia) and glutenin (Glu) proteins in wheat grain are largely unknown despite their association with celiac disease, various allergies, and physical processing properties of wheat. Developing methods to quantitatively measure clinically relevant proteins could support
Among the wheat prolamins, D-type glutenins display a highly repetitive sequence similar to ω-gliadins, but they contain a cysteine, that allows them to be included in the gluten macropolymers. An ω-gliadin-like D-type glutenin, an α-gliadin, and an ω5-gliadin-like D-type glutenin were obtained as
The IgE reactivity of the recombinant glutenin subunits P73 and B16, and of their repetitive N-terminal and nonrepetitive C-terminal halves, was analyzed using dot-blot with sera from patients diagnosed with baker's asthma, wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, or allergy to hydrolyzed wheat
Baker's asthma, food allergy to wheat, and wheat-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) are different clinical forms of wheat allergy. We investigated the correlation of solubility and digestion stability of wheat allergens with the IgE-reactivity patterns of different patient groups. Three
The IgE-binding proteins from flour, associated with bakers' asthma, have been reassessed by use of a modified RAST suitable for both soluble and insoluble proteins. Nitrocellulose sheet was used for preparing RAST discs, and seven different solvents were compared for their suitability in preparing
Three years after beginning employment at a bakery, a 32-year-old Japanese man began experiencing acute asthma exacerbations after exposure to rye flour. Antigen-specific serum IgE antibodies were detected to the albumin and globulin, gliadin, prolamin, and glutenin protein fractions of rye flour
The specificity of immunoglobulin E for different cereal grain proteins was investigated using sera from twenty paediatric patients with asthma and/or eczema. Close correlations were observed between radioallergosorbent test values for grain extracts of wheat, rye and barley, and, to a lesser
In order to identify and characterize the wheat grain allergens involved in bakers' asthma, proteins were sequentially extracted from whole-meal flour. The polypeptide composition of the individual solubility fractions (albumin/globulin, gliadin and glutenin) was analyzed by sodium dodecyl
Baker's asthma is a frequent occupational allergic disease caused mainly by inhalation of cereal flour, particularly wheat flour. This review deals with the current diagnosis and immunomodulatory treatments, as well as the role of wheat allergens as molecular tools to enhance management and
The amount of clinically relevant, allergy-related proteins in wheat grain is still largely unknown. The application of proteomics may create a platform not only for identification and characterization, but also for quantitation of these proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
Wheat proteins are responsible for sensitivities, including baker's asthma, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergic reaction, wheat-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis, and celiac disease. The detection of gluten/wheat traces in foods is important to safeguard the health of wheat-sensitive
Wheat allergy specifically refers to the adverse reaction involving IgE antibody to one or more protein fraction of wheat such as albumin, globulin, gliadin and glutenin (gluten). The majority of IgE-mediated reactions to wheat involve albumin and globulin fraction while gluten (gliadin & glutenin)
Among grains and legumes, wheat and soybean are the most frequent and well-characterized allergenic foods. Wheat proteins are divided into water/salt-soluble and water/salt-insoluble (gluten) fractions. The most dominant allergen in the former is α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor, which acts as an inhaled
Although wheat is used worldwide as a staple food, it can give rise to adverse reactions, for which the triggering factors have not been identified yet. These reactions can be caused mainly by kernel proteins, both gluten and non-gluten proteins. Among these latter proteins, α-amylase/trypsin
