Allergenicity assessment and allergen profile analysis of different Chinese wheat cultivars.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

As one of the most important cereals, wheat (Triticum aestivum) can cause severe allergic reactions, such as baker's asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. A growing number of people are developing allergies to Chinese wheat; however, only a few wheat cultivars have been screened on allergenicity in China.

Objective

The aim of the present study was to assess the allergenicity of different Chinese wheat cultivars and characterize wheat allergen profiles of patients with allergic rhinitis.

Methods

We determined protein (soluble protein, gliadin, and glutenin) composition in Chinese wheat by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and the immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding capacity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent ass
