Lettuce anaphylaxis: identification of a lipid transfer protein as the major allergen

Allergy
Mar San Miguel-MoncínS Vieths

Abstract

Allergy to plant-derived foods is associated with birch pollinosis in central and northern Europe. Symptoms elicited are usually limited to the oropharyngeal system. By contrast, in the Mediterranean area, allergy to the same foods manifests more frequently with systemic reactions caused by nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTP), independently of an associated pollinosis. We sought to investigate the pattern of immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding protein bands implicated in lettuce allergy, in particular the presence of an nsLTP. Consecutive lettuce allergic patients were selected. Determination of serum-specific IgE, immunoblot, and inhibition experiments were performed in order to study the pattern of IgE binding proteins and the potential cross-reactivity to pollens. Inhibition studies with recombinant allergens were conducted to identify the lettuce allergens. The major allergen was subjected to N-terminal amino acid sequencing. Fourteen patients were diagnosed as being allergic to lettuce. All were sensitized to Platanus pollen. Ten of them showed specific IgE to a lettuce protein of 9-kDa. The IgE binding to this protein was completely inhibited by the cherry-LTP and peach extract. The N-terminal sequence of the 9-kDa pro...Continue Reading
