Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では、アレルギー専門の臨床機関において正確に診断された甲殻類に対してアレルギー症状を示す患者の血清を用いて、重篤なアレルギー症状に関与するアレルゲンを解析するとともに、抗体を用いた新規かつ汎用的な解析法を確立することにより、その症状に関わる構造領域を解明する。本研究での成果は、安全な食素材の育種やアレルゲン性を低減化する調理法の開発にも寄与する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The number of people suffering from food allergies continues to increase worldwide. Crustaceans are particularly important as a causative food for food allergy both domestically and internationally. We analyzed the relationship between crustacean allergens and clinical types and partially clarified their relationship. In addition, we have successfully screened small antibodies against calcium-binding proteins for analyzing conformational epitopes that have been implicated in clinical symptoms, and have also produced the recombinant proteins. By expanding on these studies, we will contribute to the identification of allergens involved in various clinical forms of crustacean allergy and to the elucidation of the relationship between clinical types of crustacean allergy and epitopes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

甲殻類アレルギーは国内外で非常に重要な研究対象であり、ゲノム編集などの新技術による安全な食素材の開発やアレルゲン性を低減化する調理法の開発にも寄与することが期待される。
