Abstract
Seafoods are fashionable delicacies with high nutritional values and culinary properties, while seafood belongs to worldwide common food allergens. In recent years, many seafood allergens have been identified, while the diversity of various seafood species give a great challenge in identifying and characterizing seafood allergens, mapping IgE-binding epitopes and allergen immunotherapy development, which are critical for allergy diagnostics and immunotherapy treatments. This paper reviewed the recent progress on seafood (fish, crustacean, and mollusk) allergens, IgE-binding epitopes and allergen immunotherapy for seafood allergy. In recent years, many newly identified seafood allergens were reported, this work concluded the current situation of seafood allergen identification and designation by the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee. Moreover, this review represented the recent advances in identifying the IgE-binding epitopes of seafood allergens, which were helpful to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment for seafood allergy. Furthermore, the allergen immunotherapy could alleviate seafood allergy and provide promising approaches for seafood allergy treatment. This review represents the recent advances and future outlook on seafood allergen identification, IgE-binding epitope mapping and allergen immunotherapy strategies for seafood allergy prevention and treatment.

Evaluating the influence of cold plasma bubbling on protein structure and allergenicity in sesame milk. Allergol Immunopathol (Madr) 2023; 51:1-13. [PMID: 36924386 DOI: 10.15586/aei.v51isp1.783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sesame is a traditional oilseed comprising essential amino acids. However, the presence of allergens in sesame is a significant problem in its consumption; thus, this study attempted to reduce these allergens in sesame oilseeds. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of cold plasma processing on structural changes in proteins, and thereby the alteration of allergenicity in sesame milk. Method: Sesame milk (300 mL) was processed using atmospheric pressure plasma bubbling unit (dielectric barrier discharge, power: 200 V, and airflow rate: 16.6 mL/min) at different exposure times (10, 20, and 30 min). RESULTS The efficiency of plasma-bubbling unit as measured by electron paramagnetic resonance in terms of producing reactive hydroxyl (OH) radicals proved that generation of reactive species increased with exposure time. Further, the plasma-processed sesame milk subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and differential scanning calorimetery analysis revealed that plasma bubbling increased the oxidation of proteins with respect to bubbling time. The structural analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism revealed that the secondary structure of proteins was altered after plasma application. This change in the protein structure helped in changing the immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding epitopes of the protein, which in turn reduced the allergen-binding capacity by 23% at 20-min plasma bubbling as determined by the sandwich-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. However, 30-min plasma bubbling intended to increase allergenicity, possibly because of increase in IgE binding due to the generation of neo epitopes. CONCLUSION These changes proved that plasma bubbling is a promising technology in oxidizing protein structure, and thereby reducing the allergenicity of sesame milk. However, increase in binding at 30-min bubbling is to be studied to facilitate further reduction of the binding capacity of IgE antibodies.

Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is the major shrimp allergen that could trigger anaphylactic reactions. Recently, recombinant TM (rTM) has been accepted widely in the field of allergen-specific immunotherapy, but the allergenicity of rTM has not been compared with natural TM (nTM) based on an in vitro digestion profile. In this work, IgG-/IgE binding, allergen peptides, and degranulation ability of the digested samples in simulated gastric fluid/simulated intestinal fluid/gastrointestinal models from nTM and rTM were evaluated by immunoassays, proteomics, and basophil degranulation assay. Results showed that pepsin-digested and trypsin-digested samples of rTM exhibited lower IgG-/IgE binding and degranulation than those of nTM. More peptides of the digested samples from rTM (57.8%) matched shrimp allergic epitopes than those from nTM (33.3%). However, the peptide SITDELDQTF (269-278) appeared most frequently. These findings would supply foundation data for epitope-based immunotherapy to shrimp allergic individuals.

Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is a highly conserved protein that considered as the major allergen of crustacean and mollusk species, while, fish-TM also shares high homology with low allergenicity. In this study, the amino acid sequence, B cell epitopes and allergenicity of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), which is widely consumed, were evaluated by using immunoinformatic tools, dot-blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and mediator release assay. Meanwhile, cross-reactivity of allergic epitopes of fish-TM, shrimp-TM and clam-TM were assessed. Results showed that three IgE-binding epitopes (X1: 47-61, QKRMQQLENDLDQVQ; X2: 97-108, EDLERSEERLNT and X3: 244-257, RSVQKLQKEVDRLE) of shrimp-TM also exhibited degranulation ability. In comparison with epitopes from shrimp-TM, those from clam-TM showed high cross-reactivity (>80%) and degranulation ability, while those from fish-TM showed low cross-reactivity (<20%). These findings would apply a new understanding of the cross-reactivity of TM from fish, shrimp and clam in terms of allergenic epitopes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tropomyosin is now receiving increasing attention because of its significant allergenic activity in various fishery products but its simple and effective isolation still remains a challenging task. RESULTS An agarose-based boronate affinity chromatography was produced for the first time to isolate tropomyosin in various fishery products using 3,5-difluoro-4-formyl-phenylboronic acid as the functional monomer, tris(2-aminoethyl)amine as the multi-branched ligand, and agarose gel particles as supporting materials. The agarose concentration, binding pH, and the concentration of elution buffers demonstrated significant effects on separation performance. Under optimized conditions, the purity of the isolated tropomyosin was higher than 90%, with the column adsorption capacity over 1.85 mg mL-1 and the enrichment efficiency over 65%. Such efficiency was also validated with different fish samples including Paralichthys olivaceus, Thunnusthynnus, Oreochromis spp., and Lophius litulon. CONCLUSION In comparison with conventional methods, the established affinity chromatography demonstrated excellent biocompatibility (without involving any organic solvent), better speed (from at least 1-2 days to 3-4 h), and simplicity (from at least five steps to three steps). This suggests that it is a novel and promising technique for the isolation of tropomyosin and other glycoproteins (including most allergens) in foodstuffs. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Respiratory allergy including bronchial asthma and food allergy have gained epidemic character in the last decades in industrialized countries. Much has been learned with respect to the pathophysiology of allergic disease and this has facilitated specific therapies. Allergy is a chronic disease, and being so prevalent claims to search for evolutionary causes of the general susceptibility of humans as a species to react to environmental antigens in a Th2 type immune reaction with IgE production. In an evolutionary analysis of Allergy, necessary questions addressed in this review are "Why does IgE exist or why did IgE evolve?" as well as from the point of view of the mismatch hypothesis, "Why is there an Allergy epidemic?" Recent studies on the possible biological and protective role of IgE against parasites, arthropods, venoms or toxins are challenging the widely accepted definition of allergens as generally innocuous antigens. Combining the immunologic danger model and the toxin hypothesis for allergies, the allergic response could have evolved with an adaptive value and allergens could be proxies for other putative noxious agents. The last decades yielded with vast molecular data of allergens. With available bioinformatics tools, we therefore also describe that evolutionary theory could be applied to prevent allergy, estimate cross-reactivity, to design allergen-specific immunotherapy and to assess the risks of novel foods.

Abstract
Seafood allergy is a hypersensitive disorder with increasing prevalence worldwide. Effective and accurate diagnostic workup for seafood allergy is essential for clinicians and patients. Parvalbumin and tropomyosin are the most common fish and shellfish allergens, respectively. The diagnosis of seafood allergies is complicated by cross-reactivity among fish allergens and between shellfish allergens and other arthropods. Current clinical diagnosis of seafood allergy is a complex algorithm that includes clinical assessment, skin prick test, specific IgE measurement, and oral food challenges. Emerging diagnostic strategies, such as component-resolved diagnosis (CRD), which uses single allergenic components for assessment of epitope specific IgE, can provide critical information in predicting individualized sensitization patterns and risk of severe allergic reactions. Further understanding of the molecular identities and characteristics of seafood allergens can advance the development of CRD and lead to more precise diagnosis and improved clinical management of seafood allergies.

Abstract
Seafood refers to several distinct groups of edible aquatic animals including fish, crustacean, and mollusc. The two invertebrate groups of crustacean and mollusc are, for culinary reasons, often combined as shellfish but belong to two very different phyla. The evolutionary and taxonomic diversity of the various consumed seafood species poses a challenge in the identification and characterisation of the major and minor allergens critical for reliable diagnostics and therapeutic treatments. Many allergenic proteins are very different between these groups; however, some pan-allergens, including parvalbumin, tropomyosin and arginine kinase, seem to induce immunological and clinical cross-reactivity. This extensive review details the advances in the bio-molecular characterisation of 20 allergenic proteins within the three distinct seafood groups; fish, crustacean and molluscs. Furthermore, the structural and biochemical properties of the major allergens are described to highlight the immunological and subsequent clinical cross-reactivities. A comprehensive list of purified and recombinant allergens is provided, and the applications of component-resolved diagnostics and current therapeutic developments are discussed.
