Research Abstract |
In this study, I have produced three types of antibodies to recognize profilin, which is one of the major allergens of oral allergy syndrome, and have tried to develop a quantitative ELISA to measure profilin using these antibodies. As a result, in direct ELISA, the linearity of the standard curve was good and it was possible to quantify profilin concentrations in cucumber and tomato. On the other hand, in sandwich ELISA, the detection sensitivity was not enough. Thus, it is necessary to develop a high sensitive ELISA in the next study. The information of allergen content in food is important for selecting foods by consumers and would be useful in preventing the onset of oral allergy syndrome.
