Expression and epitope analysis of the major allergenic protein Fag e 1 from buckwheat.
description:
The common buckwheat (F. esculentum Moench) strain BC6F2 was established by 6 backcrosses and one selfing following interspecific hybridization between common buckwheat (cv. Miyazakizairai) and F. homotropicum Ohnishi.
Pooled serum IgE from 8 patients with buckwheat allergy reacted with the epitope by a SPOT assay. The core epitope sequence was deduced to be residues 87-92 (EGRSVF) through study of overlapping peptides. Single amino acid substitutions with Ala or Met established residue Arg89 as critical for binding. Alanine substitutions of Glu87 or Gly88 increased IgE binding.
