Introductory lecture: Biochemical properties of food allergens
The biochemical properties of food allergens exert a large influence on how these allergens act when ingested, and determines important aspects such as cross-reactivity, lability to degradation during digestion or stability during processing of the food. One of the targets for biochemical characterization of food allergens is to establish a link between the biochemical data and the biological a...
متن کاملIntroductory lecture: Pollen food allergy syndrome
The term pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) defines a series of clinical symptoms appearing shortly after the ingestion of plant-derived foods in subjects with pollen allergy. The patients with PFAS are primarily allergic to pollen and subsequently react to food allergens as a consequence of the homology between pollen and plantfood proteins. The two highly conserved proteins responsible for t...
متن کاملIgE-Binding Properties of Recombinant Food Allergens
Recombinant DNA technology is a common procedure to produce allergenic proteins in vitro. To date, more than 40 food allergens from fruits, vegetables, nuts, milk and seafood have been expressed as recombinant proteins. Since recombinant proteins can be produced in large quantities and in controlled quality, they promise to be suitable tools for precise diagnostics and research applications. "H...
متن کاملLecture 1: Introductory Lecture 2 Basic Definitions
We start with the definitions of metric spaces and normed spaces. Definition 1 Let X be a set, and let d : X ×X → R ∪ {0}. The pair (X, d) is a metric space if for all x, y, z ∈ X, 1. d(x, y) = d(y, x) 2. d(x, y) = 0 ⇔ x = y 3. d(x, y) + d(y, z) ≥ d(x, z) (triangle inequality) Definition 2 A normed space is R for some finite k together with an associated mapping a → ‖a‖ from R to R ∪ {0} such t...
متن کاملAuthentication of food allergens
Pure allergen batches are required for precise personalised diagnosis of food allergies. Furthermore, they can be used to develop sensitive allergen detection assays in foods and are valuable tools to develop novel immunetherapies. However, these reagents have to be well characterised and have to meet certain quality criteria. Within the EU-Project EuroPrevall, the concept of an allergen librar...
