Protein from Sichuan peppers can elicit mild to severe allergic reactions. However, little is
known about their allergenic proteins. We aimed to isolate, identify, clone, and characterize …

Abstract Background: Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Sichuan pepper; 花椒 in Chinese) is used
as a spice worldwide and is a potentially life-threatening allergenic food source, as first …

Tomato fruit and seed allergens were detected by IgE-immunoblotting using sera from 18
adult tomato-sensitized patients selected based on a positive history skin prick test (SPT) …

Background Legumes are a rich source of proteins but are also potential elicitors of IgE-
mediated food allergy. This study aimed to isolate and characterize a major allergen of …

Among tree nut allergens, pecan allergens remain to be identified and characterized. The
objective was to demonstrate the IgE-binding ability of pecan 11S legumin and characterize …

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 …

Background: Melon (Cucumis melo) allergy is one of the most common food allergies,
characterized by oral allergy syndrome. To date, two allergen molecules, Cuc m 1 and Cuc …

Background: We recently cloned and described a vicilin and showed it to be a major cashew
allergen. Additional IgE-reactive cashew peptides of the legumin group and 2S albumin …

Background Allergenic components in melon extracts have not been described in spite of
the fact that melon (Cucumis melo) is a frequent allergy‐eliciting fruit. The aim of this study …

Structural and functional information about food allergens is essential for understanding the
allergenicity of food proteins. All allergens belong to a small number of protein families …
