Abstract
Due to the widespread use of shellfish ingredients in food products, accurate food labelling is urgently needed for consumers with shellfish allergies. Most crustacean allergen detection systems target the immunorecognition of the allergenic protein tropomyosin. However, this mode of detection may be affected by an origin-dependent protein composition. This study determined if the geographic location of capture, or aquaculture, influenced the allergenic protein profiles of Black Tiger Shrimp (Penaeus monodon), one of the most farmed and consumed shrimp species worldwide. Protein composition was analysed in shrimp from nine different locations in the Asia-Pacific by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting, and mass spectrometry. Ten of the twelve known shrimp allergens were detected, but with considerable differences between locations. Sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein, myosin light chain, and tropomyosin were the most abundant allergens in all locations. Hemocyanin-specific antibodies could identify up to six different isoforms, depending on the location of origin. Similarly, tropomyosin abundance varied by up to 13 times between locations. These findings suggest that allergen abundance may be related to shrimp origin and, thus, shrimp origin might directly impact the readout of commercial crustacean allergen detection kits, most of which target tropomyosin, and this should be considered in food safety assessments.

Abstract
Ovomucoid is the immune-dominant allergen in the egg white of hens. Due to its structure based on nine disulfide bonds as well as its resistance to heat and enzymatic hydrolysis, the allergenicity of this food protein is difficult to decrease by technological processes. We sought to reduce its allergenicity through the Maillard reaction. The unfolding of ovomucoid with L-cysteine-mediated reduction was used to increase accessibility to conformational and linear epitopes by modifying the secondary and tertiary structures of the allergen. Glycation with different saccharides revealed the beneficial effect of maltose glycation on the IgG-binding capacity reduction. By determining the better glycation conditions of unfolded ovomucoid, we produced ovomucoid with reduced IgE binding capacity due to the glycation sites (K17, K112, K129, and K164) on epitopes. Moreover, after simulated infant and adult gastrointestinal digestion, the unfolded plus glycated ovomucoid showed higher ABTS˙+ scavenging activity, O2˙- scavenging activity, ˙OH scavenging activity, Fe2+ chelating activity, and a FRAP value; in particular, for ˙OH scavenging activity, there was a sharp increase of more than 100%.

Abstract
Effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma (CP) on structure, surface hydrophobicity and allergenic properties of tropomyosin (TM) in shrimp were investigated in this study. Results showed that the molecular weight of TM increased and the protein concentration decreased with CP treatment time increased. The content of free amino acids was increased by 74.7 % and the distribution of aromatic amino acids was altered. The content of α-helix was decreased by 69 % and the surface hydrophobicity increased by 57.8 % after 20 min treatment. Allergenicity analysis showed that the IgE binding capacity decreased by 96 % after 20 min treatment, and the degranulation indexes of KU812 cells like the β-HEX release rate, the intracellular calcium ion intensity, the release of histamine and inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, TNF-α) were decreased by 32.5 %, 31.0 %, 37.3 %, 51.7 %, and 70.2 %, respectively. The current study confirmed that DBD CP could reduce the TM allergenicity through structural changes.

Abstract
Tropomyosin (Scy p 1) and myosin light chain (Scy p 3) are investigated to be important heat-stable allergens in Scylla paramamosain. However, the epitopes of Scy p 1 and Scy p 3 are limited. In this study, recombinant Scy p 1 and Scy p 3 had similar IgE-binding capacity to natural proteins. Mimotopes of Scy p 1 and Scy p 3 were analyzed by bioinformatics, phage display, and one-bead-one-compound technology. Ten linear epitopes of Scy p 1 and seven linear epitopes of Scy p 3 were identified by synthetic peptides and inhibition dot blot. Meanwhile, three conformational epitopes of Scy p 1 and seven conformational epitopes of Scy p 3 were verified by site-directed mutagenesis and the serological test. Furthermore, strong IgE-binding epitopes of Scy p 1 and Scy p 3 were conserved in multiple crustaceans. Overall, these epitopes could enhance our understanding of crab allergens, which lay the foundation for a cross-reaction.

Abstract
Shrimp allergen, tropomyosin is a highly heat stable allergen a common causative of shrimp allergy in sensitive individuals. Effect of house hold pressure cooking on immunogenicity of shrimp allergen, topomyosin from Metapenaeus dobsoni was investigated in both shrimp extract and peeled shrimp by extending the time of pressure cooking to 5, 10 and 20 min. Soaked shrimps in salt, baking soda, papain and acetic acid along with pressure cooking was also investigated. In the case of extracts, IgE activity was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased and the tropomyosin band was absent in the immunoblott using pooled sera of shrimp sensitive individuals. While in the case of whole peeled shrimp, IgE activity was significantly (p < 0.05) increased and the tropomyosin band was retained in the immunoblott analysis which indicates the retention of allerginicity in the peeled shrimp. Although pressure cooked shrimp after soaking in acetic acid didn't show significant (p > 0.05) difference to that of without soaking, the tropomyosin band was observed to be very faint or absent in SDS PAGE and immunoblott analysis which indicated the effective reduction in allegenicity of whole peeled shrimp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tropomyosin is a major allergen in crustaceans, including mud crab species, but its molecular and allergenic properties in Scylla olivacea are not well known. Thus, this study aimed to produce the recombinant tropomyosin protein from S. olivacea and subsequently investigate its IgE reactivity. METHODS AND RESULTS The tropomyosin gene was cloned and expressed in the Escherichia coli system, followed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting test to identify the allergenic potential of the recombinant protein. The 855-base pair of tropomyosin gene produced was found to be 99.18% homologous to Scylla serrata. Its 284 amino acids matched the tropomyosin of crustaceans, arachnids, insects, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, ranging from 79.03 to 95.77%. The tropomyosin contained 89.44% alpha-helix folding with a tertiary structure of two-chain alpha-helical coiled-coil structures comprising a homodimer heptad chain. IPTG-induced histidine tagged-recombinant tropomyosin was purified at the size of 42 kDa and confirmed as tropomyosin using anti-tropomyosin monoclonal antibodies. The IgE binding of recombinant tropomyosin protein was reactive in 90.9% (20/22) of the sera from crab-allergic patients. CONCLUSIONS This study has successfully produced an allergenic recombinant tropomyosin from S. olivacea. This recombinant tropomyosin may be used as a specific allergen for the diagnosis of allergy.

Abstract
Tropomyosin is a major allergen responsible for cross-allergenicity in a number of shellfish species. Although extensively characterized in marine crustaceans, the information of tropomyosin is limited to a few freshwater crustacean species. As a result, more cross-reactivity evidence and information of tropomyosin at the molecular level are required for the detection of freshwater crustaceans in the food industry. In this study, we explored tropomyosin allergenicity in four freshwater crustacean species: prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Macrobrachium lanchesteri) and crayfish (Procambarus clarkii and Cherax quadricarinatus). Immunoblotting, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and immunoprecipitation studies indicated that tropomyosin was recognized by the sera's IgE of crustacean-allergic volunteers. Cloning and characterization of nucleotide sequences of tropomyosin cDNA from M. lanchesteri and C. quadricarinatus revealed highly conserved amino acid sequences with other crustaceans. This study emphasized the role of tropomyosin as a universal marker for the detection of both freshwater and marine crustaceans in the food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tropomyosin (TM) is the major allergen of crustaceans. The allergenicity of TM from Macrobrachium nipponense (MnTM) and the anaphylactic reaction in the digestive tract are still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the allergenicity of MnTM and the anaphylactic reaction in the digestive tract. RESULTS Serum IgE and IgG1 binding ability in the TM group were significantly higher than those in the PBS and CT groups (P < 0.01) and CP group (P < 0.05), while serum IgG and IgG2a binding ability showed no obvious difference between the four groups (P > 0.05). The levels of cytokines IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 in TM and CP groups were significantly higher than those in PBS and CT groups. Histamine and β-hexosaminidase in the TM and CP groups from basophil cell models were significantly higher than those in the PBS group. The highest mRNA expression of IL-4 and IL-13 was in the jejunum from TM-sensitized mice. Histopathological analysis showed that more immune cells infiltrated into the jejunum than the duodenum and ileum from the TM-sensitized mice. CONCLUSIONS MnTM could promote an allergic response in mice and lead to degranulation in basophil cells. The jejunum was more easily affected by MnTM than duodenum and ileum, and the jejunum may be the major site of allergic response in the digestive tract. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Fish allergy is a life-long food allergy whose prevalence is affected by many demographic factors. Currently, there is no cure for fish allergy, which can only be managed by strict avoidance of fish in the diet. According to the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee, 12 fish proteins are recognized as allergens. Different processing (thermal and non-thermal) techniques are applied to fish and fishery products to reduce microorganisms, extend shelf life, and alter organoleptic/nutritional properties. In this concise review, the development of a consistent terminology for studying food protein immunogenicity, antigenicity, and allergenicity is proposed. It also summarizes that food processing may lead to a decrease, no change, or even increase in fish antigenicity and allergenicity due to the change of protein solubility, protein denaturation, and the modification of linear or conformational epitopes. Recent studies investigated the effect of processing on fish antigenicity/allergenicity and were mainly conducted on commonly consumed fish species and major fish allergens using in vitro methods. Future research areas such as novel fish species/allergens and ex vivo/in vivo evaluation methods would convey a comprehensive view of the relationship between processing and fish allergy.

Abstract
Shellfish allergy affects 2% of the world's population and persists for life in most patients. The diagnosis of shellfish allergy, in particular shrimp, is challenging due to the similarity of allergenic proteins from other invertebrates. Despite the clinical importance of immunological cross-reactivity among shellfish species and between allergenic invertebrates such as dust mites, the underlying molecular basis is not well understood. Here we mine the complete transcriptome of five frequently consumed shrimp species to identify and compare allergens with all known allergen sources. The transcriptomes were assembled de novo, using Trinity, from raw RNA-Seq data of the whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis), king shrimp (Melicertus latisulcatus), and endeavour shrimp (Metapenaeus endeavouri). BLAST searching using the two major allergen databases, WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature and AllergenOnline, successfully identified all seven known crustacean allergens. The analyses revealed up to 39 unreported allergens in the different shrimp species, including heat shock protein (HSP), alpha-tubulin, chymotrypsin, cyclophilin, beta-enolase, aldolase A, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD). Multiple sequence alignment (Clustal Omega) demonstrated high homology with allergens from other invertebrates including mites and cockroaches. This first transcriptomic analyses of allergens in a major food source provides a valuable resource for investigating shellfish allergens, comparing invertebrate allergens and future development of improved diagnostics for food allergy.

Hydrophobicity drives receptor-mediated uptake of heat-processed proteins by THP-1 macrophages and dendritic cells, but not cytokine responses. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0236212. [PMID: 32797100 PMCID: PMC7428126 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0236212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Although an impact of processing on immunogenicity of food proteins has clearly been demonstrated, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. We applied 3 different processing methods: wet heating (60 °C) and low- or high-temperature (50 °C or 130 °C, respectively) dry-heating in absence or presence of reducing sugars, to β-lactoglobulin (BLG), lysozyme and thyroglobulin, which represent dietary proteins with different pI or molecular weight. Uptake of the soluble fraction of the samples was tested in two types of, genetically homogeneous, antigen-presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells derived from THP-1 monocytes). This revealed a strong correlation between the uptake of the different protein samples by macrophages and dendritic cells, and confirmed the key role of hydrophobicity, over aggregation, in determining the uptake. Several uptake routes were shown to contribute to the uptake of BLG by macrophages. However, cytokine responses following exposure of macrophages to BLG samples were not related to the levels of uptake. Together, our results demonstrate that heat-treatment-induced increased hydrophobicity is the prime driving factor in uptake, but not in cytokine production, by THP-1 macrophages.

Abstract
Prawn allergy is one of the most common food-borne allergies and current prevention is by avoidance. This review paper summarised different methodologies for the extraction, identification and quantification of prawn protein allergens, reported in various research studies. Following extraction, allergenic components have been analysed using well-established methodologies, such as SDS-PAGE, Immunoblotting, ELISA, CD Spectroscopy, HPLC, DBPCFC, SPT etc. Moreover, the preference towards Aptamer-based technique for allergenicity analysis has also been highlighted in this review paper. The summary of these methodologies will provide a reference platform for present and future research directions.
