Abstract
Cell division is completed by the abscission of the intercellular bridge connecting the daughter cells. Abscission requires the polymerization of an ESCRT-III cone close to the midbody to both recruit the microtubule severing enzyme spastin and scission the plasma membrane. Here, we found that the microtubule and the membrane cuts are two separate events that are regulated differently. Using HeLa cells, we uncovered that the F-actin disassembling protein Cofilin-1 controls the disappearance of a transient pool of branched F-actin which is precisely assembled at the tip of the ESCRT-III cone shortly before the microtubule cut. Functionally, Cofilin-1 and Arp2/3-mediated branched F-actin favor abscission by promoting local severing of the microtubules but do not participate later in the membrane scission event. Mechanistically, we propose that branched F-actin functions as a physical barrier that limits ESCRT-III cone elongation and thereby favors stable spastin recruitment. Our work thus reveals that F-actin controls the timely and local disassembly of microtubules required for cytokinetic abscission.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is an intracellular pathogen whose replication cycle strictly depends on the host cell molecular machinery. HIV-1 crosses twice the plasma membrane, to get in and to get out of the cell. Therefore, the first and the last line of intracellular component encountered by the virus is the cortical actin network. Here, we review the role of actin and actin-related proteins in HIV-1 entry, assembly, budding, and release. We first highlight the mechanisms controlling actin polymerization at the entry site that promote the clustering of HIV-1 receptors, a crucial step for the virus to fuse with the plasma membrane. Then, we describe how actin is transiently depolymerized locally to allow the capsid to cross the actin cortex, before migrating towards the nucleus. Finally, we review the role of several actin-binding proteins in actin remodeling events required for membrane deformation and curvature at the viral assembly site as well as for virus release. Strikingly, it appears that common actin-regulating pathways are involved in viral entry and exit. However, while the role of actin remodeling during entry is well understood, this is not the case during exit. We discuss remaining challenges regarding the actin-dependent mechanisms involved in HIV-1 entry and exit, and how they could be overcome.

Abstract
Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must be finely tuned, both in space and time, to fulfill key cellular functions such as cell division, cell shape changes, phagocytosis and cell migration. While actin oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) at non-physiological levels are known for long to impact on actin polymerization and on the cellular actin cytoskeleton, growing evidence shows that direct and reversible oxidation/reduction of specific actin amino acids plays an important and physiological role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton. In this review, we describe which actin amino acid residues can be selectively oxidized and reduced in many different ways (e.g. disulfide bond formation, glutathionylation, carbonylation, nitration, nitrosylation and other oxidations), the cellular enzymes at the origin of these post-translational modifications, and the impact of actin redox modifications both in vitro and in vivo. We show that the regulated balance of oxidation and reduction of key actin amino acid residues contributes to the control of actin filament polymerization and disassembly at the subcellular scale and highlight how improper redox modifications of actin can lead to pathological conditions.

Abstract
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) targeting the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) are promising molecules for therapeutic or prophylactic interventions. Beyond neutralization, bNAbs exert Fc-dependent functions including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and activation of the complement. Here, we show that a subset of bNAbs targeting the CD4 binding site and the V1/V2 or V3 loops inhibit viral release from infected cells. We combined immunofluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and immunogold staining to reveal that some bNAbs form large aggregates of virions at the surface of infected cells. This activity correlates with the capacity of bNAbs to bind to Env at the cell surface and to neutralize cell-free viral particles. We further show that antibody bivalency is required for viral retention, and that aggregated virions are neutralized. We have thus identified an additional antiviral activity of bNAbs, which block HIV-1 release by tethering viral particles at the surface of infected cells. Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) neutralize HIV-1 and exert Fc-dependent activities against infected cells. Here, Dufloo et al. show that bNAbs also block HIV-1 release by trapping viral particles at the surface of infected cells.

Abstract
The midbody at the center of the intercellular bridge connecting dividing cells recruits the machinery essential for the final steps of cytokinesis.1-5 Successive abscission on both sides of the midbody generates a free midbody remnant (MBR) that can be inherited and accumulated in many cancer, immortalized, and stem cells, both in culture and in vivo.6-12 Strikingly, this organelle was recently shown to contain information that induces cancer cell proliferation, influences cell polarity, and promotes dorso-ventral axis specification upon interaction with recipient cells.13-16 Yet the mechanisms by which the MBR is captured by either a daughter cell or a distant cell are poorly described.10,14 Here, we report that BST2/tetherin, a well-established restriction factor that blocks the release of numerous enveloped viruses from the surface of infected cells,17-20 plays an analogous role in retaining midbody remnants. We found that BST2 is enriched at the midbody during cytokinesis and localizes at the surface of MBRs in a variety of cells. Knocking out BST2 induces the detachment of MBRs from the cell surface, their accumulation in the extracellular medium, and their transfer to distant cells. Mechanistically, the localization of BST2 at the MBR membrane is both necessary and sufficient for the interaction between MBRs and the cell surface. We thus propose that BST2 tethers post-cytokinetic midbody remnants to the cell surface. This finding reveals new parallels between cytokinesis and viral biology21-26 that unexpectedly extend beyond the ESCRT-dependent abscission step.

Abstract
Proteins of the ADF/cofilin family play a central role in the disassembly of actin filaments, and their activity must be tightly regulated in cells. Recently, the oxidation of actin filaments by the enzyme MICAL1 was found to amplify the severing action of cofilin through unclear mechanisms. Using single filament experiments in vitro, we found that actin filament oxidation by MICAL1 increases, by several orders of magnitude, both cofilin binding and severing rates, explaining the dramatic synergy between oxidation and cofilin for filament disassembly. Remarkably, we found that actin oxidation bypasses the need for cofilin activation by dephosphorylation. Indeed, non-activated, phosphomimetic S3D-cofilin binds and severs oxidized actin filaments rapidly, in conditions where non-oxidized filaments are unaffected. Finally, tropomyosin Tpm1.8 loses its ability to protect filaments from cofilin severing activity when actin is oxidized by MICAL1. Together, our results show that MICAL1-induced oxidation of actin filaments suppresses their physiological protection from the action of cofilin. We propose that, in cells, direct post-translational modification of actin filaments by oxidation is a way to trigger their disassembly.

Abstract
BST2 (bone marrow stromal antigen 2)/tetherin is a restriction factor of enveloped viruses, which blocks the release of viral particles. HIV-1 encodes proteins that antagonize this innate barrier, including the accessory protein Vpu. Here, we investigate whether the autophagy pathway and/or ATG proteins are hijacked by HIV-1 Vpu to circumvent BST2 restriction of viral release. We report that BST2 and Vpu are present in LC3-positive compartments. We found that Vpu selectively interacts with the ATG8 ortholog LC3C through the Vpu L63VEM66 sequence. This sequence is required for Vpu to antagonize BST2 restriction. LC3C expression favors the removal of BST2 from the HIV-1 budding site, and thus HIV-1 release in BST2-expressing cells. Additionally, ATG5 and beclin 1/ATG6, but not all the components of the autophagy pathway, act with LC3C to facilitate Vpu antagonism of BST2 restriction. Altogether, our data support the view that a non-canonical autophagy pathway reminiscent of LC3-associated phagocytosis contributes to Vpu counteraction of BST2 restriction.

Abstract
Cytokinetic abscission is the terminal step of cell division, leading to the physical separation of the two daughter cells. The exact mechanism mediating the final scission of the intercellular bridge connecting the dividing cells is not fully understood, but requires the local constriction of endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III-dependent helices, as well as remodelling of lipids and the cytoskeleton at the site of abscission. In particular, microtubules and actin filaments must be locally disassembled for successful abscission. However, the mechanism that actively removes actin during abscission is poorly understood. In this Commentary, we will focus on the latest findings regarding the emerging role of the MICAL family of oxidoreductases in F-actin disassembly and describe how Rab GTPases regulate their enzymatic activity. We will also discuss the recently reported role of MICAL1 in controlling F-actin clearance in the ESCRT-III-mediated step of cytokinetic abscission. In addition, we will highlight how two other members of the MICAL family (MICAL3 and MICAL-L1) contribute to cytokinesis by regulating membrane trafficking. Taken together, these findings establish the MICAL family as a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking during cell division.

Abstract
Cytokinetic abscission, the terminal step of cell division, crucially depends on the local constriction of ESCRT-III helices after cytoskeleton disassembly. While the microtubules of the intercellular bridge are cut by the ESCRT-associated enzyme Spastin, the mechanism that clears F-actin at the abscission site is unknown. Here we show that oxidation-mediated depolymerization of actin by the redox enzyme MICAL1 is key for ESCRT-III recruitment and successful abscission. MICAL1 is recruited to the abscission site by the Rab35 GTPase through a direct interaction with a flat three-helix domain found in MICAL1 C terminus. Mechanistically, in vitro assays on single actin filaments demonstrate that MICAL1 is activated by Rab35. Moreover, in our experimental conditions, MICAL1 does not act as a severing enzyme, as initially thought, but instead induces F-actin depolymerization from both ends. Our work reveals an unexpected role for oxidoreduction in triggering local actin depolymerization to control a fundamental step of cell division. Cytokinetic abscission relies on the local constriction after cytoskeleton disassembly, but it is not known how the actin filaments are disassembled. Here, the authors show that the redox enzyme MICAL1 is recruited by Rab35 and induces oxidation-mediated depolymerization of actin, which is required to recruit ESCRT-III and complete abscission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peanut is a major allergenic product. Manufacturing processes used in food industries to improve the physicochemical properties of food-based peanut (stabilization, texturization), could cause a modification of the digestibility of peanut proteins and, consequently, their allergenicity. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at examining the influence of polysaccharides, i.e., gum arabic, low methylated pectin (LMP) and xylan, on the in vitro hydrolysis of peanut protein isolate (PPI) and the in vitro allergenicity of the digestion products. METHODS PPI was hydrolysed during a two-step in vitro hydrolysis by pepsin, followed by a trypsin/chymotrypsin (T/C) mixture performed in dialysis bags with molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) of 1000 or 8000 Da. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and immunoblotting were assessed on the peptic and T/C digestion products in (retentates) and out of the dialysis bags (dialysates). RESULTS Hydrolysis by all of the digestive enzymes showed retention of some proteins in the dialysis bags in the presence of gum arabic and xylan. The retentates were recognized by IgG and IgE, particularly peptides <20 kDa. The IgE binding with peptides of retentate containing xylan from the dialysis bag with an MWCO of 1000 Da was reduced. The immunoreactivity of hydrolysis products in dialysates was considerably reduced by polysaccharides, regardless of the dialysis bag. CONCLUSION Reduction of PPI hydrolysis was probably due to non-specific interactions between polysaccharides and peptides. In retentates, IgE-binding epitopes were reduced by digestion and the presence of xylan. In dialysates, they were reduced by all of the polysaccharides. This work highlights the possibility of modulating this food allergy through optimized formulation.

Abstract
Plant hydrocolloids used in the food industry to improve texture and stability of food, such as dairy products, can reduce protein digestibility and, consequently, modify the bioavailability of amino acids. We studied the in vitro hydrolysis at 37 degrees C of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-lg) in mixed dispersions containing either gum arabic or low-methylated pectin or xylan at levels of 0, 1, 10, 20, 30, and 50% weight. Proteolysis used either pepsin alone by progressive reduction of pH during proteolysis or pepsin followed by trypsin and chymotrypsin in two different dialysis bags with a molecular weight (MW) cutoff of 1000 or 8000 Da. Results showed that beta-lg was almost resistant to pepsin digestion and that the three plant hydrocolloids inhibited significantly beta-lg digestibility as determined using dialysis bag with a 1000-Da MW cutoff. Among the three polysaccharides used, xylan showed a digestibility decrease greater than that obtained with gum arabic and low-methylated pectin. On the other hand, no significant effect of polysaccharides on the in vitro beta-lg digestibility was detected using the dialysis bag with an 8000 Da MW cutoff. This mainly suggests that peptides with MW in the range 1000 to 8000 Da may interact with polysaccharides more than peptides and proteins with a greater molecular weight to decrease the protein digestibility, and that the nature of the polysaccharides plays a role in the interaction.

Abstract
The most widely used ingredients in food formulation are proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. Proteins-lipids and proteins-polysaccharides interactions play a key role in the structure, stability, sensorial and nutritional properties of formulated foods. The objective of the present study is to highlight the importance of proteins-lipids and proteins-polysaccharides interactions, on the immuno-reactivity of allergenic proteins. Two models have been studied, on the one hand refined and not refined oils (soya and sunflower) and soya lecithin, on the other hand mixtures based on peanut proteins and polysaccharides (arabic gum, pectin, xylan). STUDY OF OILS: We have extracted proteins, using a PBS buffer, from refined and not refined oils from soya, sunflower and from soya lecithin, determined protein concentrations and identified allergenic proteins using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and immuno-blotting. Phospholipids are determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The protein determination and SDS-PAGE show the presence of a higher amount of proteins in not refined oils and lecithin as compared to refined oils. An important amount of proteins associated to phospholipids are eliminated by degumming on the form of lecithin. On the other hand, residual proteins from refined oils are accompanied by phospholipids. Immuno-blots reveal the presence of a 56 kDa allergen in oils issued from soya seeds and soya lecithin, and the presence of a 67 kDa allergen in oils issued from sunflower seeds. We conclude that the presence or elimination of proteins, especially allergens from oils is linked to amphiphilic association to phospholipids. STUDY OF PEANUT PROTEINS-POLYSACCHARIDES MIXTURES: We have digested in vitro proteins in a dialysis bag using a multi-enzymatic method and characterized proteins and peptides using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and immuno-blotting. Our results confirm that peanut proteins alone are digested by proteases and that a number of large peptides still have epitopes recognized by anti-peanut proteins antibodies. Our results also show that the presence of polysaccharides changes the peptidic profile after digestion and that, depending on the polysaccharide type, smaller or larger peptides can be obtained in the dialysis bag. Smaller peptides are obtained using pectin whereas larger peptides are obtained using arabic gum and xylan. In the latter case, an increasing amount of peptides reacts to antibodies. Our first observations clearly show the need to better understand modifications of proteins allergenicity induced by the presence of other ingredients such as polysaccharides and lipids, in relation to technological treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mustard allergy accounts for 1.1% of food allergies in children. However, double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge trials (DB PCFCs) have not yet been proposed. OBJECTIVE To carry out DB PCFCs to determine the real frequency of mustard allergy in patients sensitized to mustard. METHODS A prospective study was conducted in 30 subjects aged 3-20 years presenting positive prick tests to ground mustard seeds (Brassica nigra), mustard flour (B. juncea), metabisulfite-free strong mustard seasoning (B. juncea) and a commercialized allergenic extract (B. nigra). Twenty-seven subjects were screened for mustard-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE). PCFCs were carried out either DB or single blind (SB) with up to 1340 mg of metabisulfite-free seasoning. RESULTS The mean diameter of the wheal induced by prick tests with the allergenic extract was lower (n.s.) than that induced by the native mustard products: 5.8 mm (1.5-15) vs 6.9 mm (0.5-18) for B. nigra ground seeds, 7.8 mm (1-20) for B. juncea flour and 9.7 mm (3-20) for the strong mustard seasoning. The diameter of the wheal induced by the allergenic extract was significantly different from that induced by the mustard seasoning (P < 0.005). The mean of mustard specific-IgE values was 8.7 KU/l (0.35-72.4). Seven of 30 food challenges were considered positive. Mean prick test results in the positive and negative PCFC subgroups were 5.5 mm vs 5.9 mm for the commercialized extract, 10.9 mm vs 5.8 mm for B. nigra ground seeds (P < 0.01), 9.9 mm vs 7.1 mm for B. juncea flour (n.s. P > 0.25) and 11.5 mm vs 9.1 mm for the metabisulfite-free mustard seasoning (n.s. P > 0.1). Mean specific IgE values determined by CAP system radioallergosorbent test (Phadebas Pharmacia) were higher but not significantly so (P > 0.25) in the subgroup with mustard allergy (12.3 K/l vs 7.6 KU/l). CONCLUSIONS About 23.3% of the sensitized subjects were allergic to a routine dose of mustard. Positive prick tests and the presence of specific IgE were not predictive. SB PCFC or DB PCFC is required before recommending avoidance diets.

Abstract
Numerous biological tests point to the diagnosis of food sensitization: detection of specific IgEs by Rast techniques, multi-detection assays, immunoblotting, screening of basophil activation (BAT or FAST), assays for leukotriene LTC4 release (CAST), measurement of plasma histamine, serum tryptase, serum ECP, urinary EDN, completed by mannitol-lactulose test evaluating intestinal permeability, assay of fecal IgEs, Rast for specific IgG4. Primary screening for anti-food IgEs by multi-detection assays seeks justification from insufficient clinical data and false positive tests are common in patients sensitized to pollens or latex, on account of in vitro cross reactivities (CR). Multiple CR explain positive Rast to vegetal food allergens in such patients. Biological tests should not be performed as the first line of diagnosis. In vivo sensitisation is assessed by positive prick-tests, demonstrating the bivalence of allergens, as well as the affinity of specific IgEs, two conditions necessary to bridge membrane bound specific IgEs, leading to the release of mediators. Prick-tests are closer to clinical symptoms than biological tests. However, the diagnosis of food allergy is based on standardised oral challenges. Exceptions are high levels of specific IgEs to egg (> 6 kUl/l), peanut (> 15 kUl/l), fish (> 20 kUl/l) and milk (> 32 kUl/l), reaching a 95% predictive positive value. Rast inhibition tests are useful to identify masked allergens in foods. Research developments will have impact on the development of new diagnostic tools: allergen mixes reinforcing a food extract by associated recombinant major allergens, multiple combination of recombinant allergens (chips) or tests with synthetic epitopes aimed a the prediction of recovery. Laboratory tests take place in the decision free for the diagnosis for the food allergy and the follow-up of the levels specific IgEs is a tool to assess outcome and contributes to predict recovery or persistent allergy. Up to now the significance of positive laboratory tests showing the implication of IgEs is at the crossroads of the allergist's and biologist's expertise.

Abstract
Most of the time, food allergies are the consequence of an immediate IgE mediated hypersensitivity. In France, the frequency of food allergies is of 3.24%, it raises 8% in children. Their number as been multiplied by 2 in 5 years. The biological approach of food allergy is based essentially on the detection and the measurement of specific IgE. To date, a high number of tests are marketed and it is important to determine which of them are of high quality, using analytical or clinical-biological evaluations. Some other ways are available to study thoroughly and to characterize the allergens responsible of clinical reactions: the detection of hidden allergens, the study of crossed reaction between food or between food and pollen, the modification of the allergens by food processing.

Abstract
Cases of allergy to the oils of groundnut, sunflower, soya and sesame have been described in the literature. In parallel, other authors have affirmed that these oils are not allergenic. The objective of this article is to make the point on this question, to cite the procedures to which the seeds are submitted to extract the oil, to remember that the oils are not composed only of triglycerides and to describe the results of our work. Allergy of oils is a subject that is constantly submitted to controversy and the bibliography does not cease to give contradictory examples. This may be explained by the variations in extraction procedures used by the manufactures, as well as by the conditions of extraction of the proteins in the laboratory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine is thought to be the main cause of adverse reactions to wines. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the level of histamine in wine affects the tolerance to wine in 16 subjects with wine intolerance. METHODS We performed a study to examine the effects of wine histamine content in 16 adults with wine intolerance. Each subject underwent 2 double-blind provocation tests with wine: 1 with a wine poor in histamine (0.4 mg/L), and 1 with a wine rich in histamine (13.8 mg/L). Blood was collected for histamine and methylhistamine RIAs at 0, 10, 30, and 45 minutes after ingestion of the wine. Methylhistamine and methylimidazolacetic acid (gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) were measured in urine 5 hours before and 5 hours after ingestion. RESULTS No significant differences in the occurrence of adverse reactions were noted after ingestion of either of the wines (McNemar test). At 10 minutes, a significant increase was observed in plasma histamine with histamine-poor wine. No significant changes (Wilcoxon test) were observed in the methylhistamine and methylimidazolacetic acid levels after ingestion of either histamine-poor or histamine-rich wine. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that there is no correlation between the histamine content of wine and wine intolerance. The increase of plasma histamine levels at 10 minutes with histamine-poor wine suggested the role of a histamine-releasing substance. The role of acetaldehyde is discussed.

Abstract
We have studied the effect of common mutations (677C-->T and 1298A-->C) of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in sixty-six healthy French subjects, aged 27-47 years. Serum folate, vitamin B12, and plasma total homocysteine were measured as well as the specific activity of MTHFR in lymphocytes. The frequency of subjects homozygous for the 677TT genotype was 18%, and that of those homozygous for the 1298CC genotype was 12.5%. The frequency of individuals heterozygous for both mutations was 23.5%. The 1298A-->C mutation was associated with decreased MTHFR specific activity in subjects with both 677CC and 677CT genotypes. This activity was 60% for the 677CC/1298AC genotype and 52% for the 677CC/1298CC genotype when compared with the MTHFR specific activity of the 677CC/1298AA genotype. Heterozygotes for both mutations (677CT/1298AC genotype) had 36% of the reference specific activity. Although homocysteine levels in 677TT and 1298CC genotype subjects were higher than for other genotypes, no significant differences were observed among different genotypes. This may be due to high serum folate level in our samples, and suggests that folate therapy may be useful to prevent hyperhomocysteinaemia in homozygous mutant subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peanut allergy is common, but cross-allergy between legumes is rare. Proteins from Lupinus albus are increasingly eaten in the form of seeds or additives to wheat flour. The risk of cross-allergenicity is still insufficiently known. OBJECTIVE We sought to study the risk of cross-allergy to lupine in patients allergic to peanut and to study lupine allergenicity. METHODS Twenty-four patients allergic to peanuts were studied by means of skin prick tests with native lupine flour from Lupinus albus. Double-blind oral challenge tests were performed with lupine flour and peanut in 8 of these patients. Specific IgEs were assayed for peanut, lupine flour, and pollen in 6 sera. RAST inhibition tests for lupine pollen by peanut were performed on 4 of these sera. Peanut and lupine flour immunoblots were carried out for 6 sera, and crossed immunoblot inhibitions for peanut by lupine flour and lupine flour by peanut were carried out for 2 sera. RESULTS The skin prick test responses with lupine flour were positive in 11 (44%) subjects. The challenge test responses were positive in 7 of 8 subjects at the same doses as with peanut. The major lupine flour allergen (molecular mass, 43 kd) is present in peanuts. The RAST inhibition and immunoblot tests indicated cross-reactivity of peanut with the lupine flour and pollen. CONCLUSIONS The risk of crossed peanut-lupine allergy is high, contrary to the risk with other legumes. The inclusion of 10% lupine flour in wheat flour without mandatory labeling makes lupine a hidden allergen, presenting a major risk of cross-reaction in subjects already allergic to peanut products. A high sensitizing potential can also be postulated for this legume.

Abstract
The diagnosis of IgE dependant food allergy relies on the demonstration of specific IgE by prick tests or in vitro tests. The ENEA System II (CIS bio international) is a new automatic assay analyser of specific IgE, that uses allergens coupled to a solid phase and a urease marked anti-IgE antibody. This study aims to compare the performance of the ENEA System II to that of Pharmacia CAP System for the assay of food specific IgE (milk, eggs, peanuts) by means of unit tests and multitests. Sixty three patients were included: 10 non atopic controls, 19 egg-allergic patients, 10 patients allergic to cow's milk, and 24 patients allergic to peanuts. The food allergy was proved by means of a double blind oral, labial or bronchial challenge and/or effective avoidance of the food. For both systems, the specificity of unit tests was 100%. Sensitivity was 60% and 100% with both systems, using milk and peanuts respectively. However, using eggs, it was only 74% with ENEA System II versus 95% with Pharmacia CAP System. The intra-trial variation coefficients were comparable. In contrast, inter-trial variation coefficient was very high for the ENEA System II (20.3% versus 7.3%). The multitest named "children's food" showed an important inter-set variability. In conclusion, the ENEA System II is a rapid automatic tester whose performance has to be improved. The actual thermostatically control of the system was shown to achieve quality assay. The conservation of the solid phase, recently perfected, is expected to suppress the inter-set variability.

Abstract
Histamine has been incriminated as having a responsibility for intolerance reaction to wines. We have made a study by double blind oral provocation test to find the effect of ingestion of a histamine-rich (22.8 mg.l-1) and a histamine free wine in eight healthy subjects. Blood samples were taken at 0, 10, 30 and 45 minutes after ingestion of the wine for measurement of plasma histamine and methylhistamine. Urines were collected 5 hours before and 5 hours after ingestion for measurement of urinary methylhistamine. No subject presented a reaction of intolerance after ingestion of wine rich or poor in histamine. No change in plasma histamine and plasma and urinary methylhistamine was seen. This study shows that the amount of histamine in wine has no clinical or biological effect in healthy subjects, and this emphasized the efficiency in man of the systems for degradation of histamine that is absorbed by the alimentary tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IgE-dependent basophil activation induced by an allergen elicit the release of LTC4 and the expression of the CD63 membrane marker. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to check if flow cytometric analysis of basophil activation could be applied to food allergy diagnosis and if this method paralleled LTC4 release. METHODS Patients were selected by the clinical history, skin tests, and provocation tests. Basophil activation induced by food extracts was studied in 24 control subjects and in 27 patients having a food allergy by LTC4 release test (LRT) and by flow cytometric anti-IgE+, CD63 + cell counting (BAT = basophil activation test). In case of negative anti-IgE response a passive blood donor basophil passive sensitization step was added to LRT and BAT. Leucocyte histamine release test was performed in 11 patients. RESULTS Basophil activation test was positive in 18/31 cases and LRT in 22/34 cases for food-allergic patients and, respectively, in 1/33 and 1/35 cases for the controls. A correlation was observed between specific IgE, BAT, and LRT. Basophil activation test and LRT performed after passive sensitization had an excellent sensitivity only for specific IgE levels ranging between 3.5 and 35 KU/L. CONCLUSION The present study shows that allergen-induced LTC4 release and anti-IgE, antiCD63 bicolor flow cytometric analysis of basophil activation may be used for food allergy diagnosis. Both tests have a good sensitivity and specificity. Basophil activation test and LRT are more efficient than histamine release test in case of high spontaneous histamine release, frequently observed in case of food allergy.

Abstract
An egg protein, lysozyme, is a still unlabeled additive currently used in cheese preparation. Furthermore, the WHO-FAO committee considers it innocuous. However, 31% of children and 8% of adults with food allergies are allergic to eggs. This work aimed to determine the percentage of patients sensitized to lysozyme from a population of egg-allergic patients. Specific IgE was determined with Cap RAST in 52 patients clinically allergic to egg. Thirty-five percent of egg-allergic patients had antilysozyme IgE. Given this high incidence of lysozyme sensitization, it seems that the presence of lysozyme should be indicated on food labels.

Abstract
We report on a baby food, cereal flour P (CFP), which, although guaranteed free of cow's milk protein, caused failure to thrive and diarrhea, vomiting, and coughing fits in a 22-month-old child. The purpose of this study was to identify the allergen involved. The investigation used prick tests, RAST, and the RAST inhibition method. Specific IgE was elevated to 100 kU/l for cow's milk and to 15.3 kU/l for alpha-lactalbumin (2.5 kU/l for casein, 0.7 kU/l for beta-lactoglobulin). Antibovine IgG IgEs were associated. RAST inhibition experiments demonstrated the presence of alpha-lactalbumin in "food-quality" lactose used in this flour, at a dose of 1-5 micrograms/g of CFP. The daily intake of alpha-lactalbumin was found to be less than 70 micrograms. This exquisite clinical sensitization was attributed to the intestinal hyperpermeability (IH) which favors the access of milk allergen to the blood, leading to an ever-growing state of hypersensitivity. It could have been due to egg- and mustard-associated allergies as well as to giardiasis and intestinal candidosis. This work underlines the risk of masked food allergens and the need of thoroughly informative labeling.

Abstract
The impact of the major interferents (hemolysis, bilirubin, turbidity), on the quality of biochemical tests, was evaluated on multiparametric analysers (CL 7200 Shimadzu, Japan/Ciba-Corning, France; AU 5231 and AU 5223 Olympus, Japan/bioMérieux, France), according to the SFBC instructions. Interferences were detected in 33 cases upon 165 tests realized, that is to say 20% of the performed analysis. Turbidity was the most frequent cause of interference (7.8%), followed by hemolysis (8.5%) and bilirubin (3.6%). The use of a sample blank, a bireagent, the change of reagent, the change of the secondary wavelength or the modification of the measurement times, allowed us to reduce more than 80% of the interferences. Only three interferences remained: hemolysis upon the measurement of TGO and potassium, and bilirubin upon the measurement of creatinine. For these parameters, a suitable note using the Olympus factors (semi quantitative expression of the importance of the three interferents) is reported on the answer sheet.

Abstract
The multitests Cap RAST fx5 and fx10 (Pharmacia, Cap System) are used for a rapid biological diagnosis of food allergy. These tests were assessed in 29 children who presented 42 food allergies (FA) documented by prick tests, specific IgE and labial or oral provocation tests (single blind placebo controlled food challenges). When the multitests were positive, the search for specific IgE to the corresponding allergens was performed (Cap RAST, Pharmacia). The theoretical coverage of FA could be estimated according to the frequency of food allergens involved in the children. It reaches 85% for Cap RAST fx5 and 29% for Cap RAST fx10. The sensitivity of Cap RAST fx5 is 89% and 50% for Cap RAST fx10. Even in the case when the child had a single food allergy, the detail of specific IgE showed multiple positivities to several allergens included in the multitest. Consequently, the positive predictive value of Cap RAST was only 32%. Prick tests to the same allergens were more rarely positive, gaining thus a better positive predictive value. The authors propose the use of Cap RAST fx5, eventually completed by a Cap RAST to beef for the first approach of food allergy in children. They stress the point that prick tests have to be carried on subsequently, in order to select properly allergens responsible for food allergy.

Abstract
A specific receptor with high affinity for rat androgen-binding protein (rABP) was identified in isolated adult rat germ cells and in the corresponding plasma membrane-enriched preparations. Binding was reversible and time-dependent, with maximum relative binding after 40 min at 4 degrees C; it was pH-dependent, with maximum binding at pH 6-8. Unlabelled rABP and human sex steroid-binding protein (hSBP), but not lactotransferrin, serotransferrin, asialofetuin, fetuin or bovine serum albumin, competed with labelled rABP for binding sites on isolated germ cells. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of binding site with apparent dissociation constant (Kd) values of 0.78 +/- 0.04 nM and 0.97 +/- 0.05 nM in intact germ cells and plasma membrane preparations respectively. A Kd of 1.72 +/- 0.12 nM for hSBP showed that the receptor binding site was effective for both androgen-carrier molecules. Labelled rABP incubated with solubilized germ cell membrane fractions at pH 7 formed a complex excluded from Superose 6B mini-gels; this complex was not formed at pH 3. The receptor complex was also abolished in the presence of a 100-fold excess of either unlabelled rABP or unlabelled hSBP, or in the presence of 20 mM EDTA. These results suggest that the plasma membrane of rat germ cells contains a receptor which selectively binds rABP and hSBP.

Abstract
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) levels measured by RIA show a strong sensitivity for the biological diagnosis of malignant hepatoma (MH). However, this parameter lacks specificity. Previous observations of an alteration in vitamin B12 metabolism in the presence of hepatoma led us to study vitamin-B12-binding proteins. Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is transported in the blood by two proteins or transcobalamins: one is haptocorrin (HC), which is linked to most of the cobalamin, and the other is transcobalamin II, which is involved in tissue exchanges. In this work, the levels of AFP and transcobalamins were determined by RIA and radioisotope dilution assay, respectively. They were measured in patients with MH (group A) and in patients with other liver diseases (group B). Compared with group B, group A showed a significant increase in total serum HC (p less than 0.005). In conclusion, it was observed that MH is accompanied by increased levels of HC. The origin of these changes could be due to either an increase in HC synthesis or a catabolic defect.
