with their number increasing year by year. This situation is a nuisance particulary for the
people whose staple food is rice and a great social demand has arisen for palatable …

Rice seed proteins are known to be a causative antigen in some patients with food allergy,
especially cereal allergy, with clinical symptoms such as eczema and dermatitis. The α …

Most rice contains the 16-kDa allergenic protein belonging to the α-amylase/trypsin inhibitor
family. The amount of this protein in more than 150 rice strains was examined by using the …

The 14-16 kDa rice allergenic proteins have been reported to be the products of a multigene
family, and react most frequently with IgE in serum of rice allergic patients. The aim of this …

Seven cDNA clones encoding rice allergenic proteins were newly isolated. Comparison of
the sequences of ten cDNA clones including the previously isolated three clones results in …

The digestibility and gastrointestinal absorption of 14–16-kDa rice allergens (RAs) were
investigated. RAs and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were first evaluated for their digestibility …

To understand the allergenicity of rice bran, the distribution of rice allergens in brown rice
grains was analysed and the allergenicity of cosmetics and health foods containing rice bran …

A large percentage of allergenic proteins are of plant origin. Hence, plant-based expression
systems are considered ideal for the recombinant production of certain allergens. First …

Rice flo2 mutation produces grains showing a reduced amount of storage proteins. Using
Nipponbare and the flo2 mutant, we created rice transformants that showed defective …
