Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plant seeds are widely consumed as food. However, seed proteins are often the causative substances of food allergy. Wheat is an important part of the daily diet, but it is also one of the three major allergenic food. In this study, comparative analysis of wheat allergens using recombinant proteins indicated that α-gliadin is the major allergen among wheat proteins. Furthermore, its allergenicity is attributed to characteristic structural factors.
