Walnut Jug r 1 is Responsible for Primary Sensitization among Patients Suffering Walnut-Hazelnut 2S Albumin Cross-Reactivity.

For this purpose, walnut-hazelnut cross-reactivity was evaluated in 20 patients allergic to one or both tree nuts and sensitized to their 2S albumins. Immunoblotting assays showed that 85% of patients recognized Jug r 1, walnut 2S albumin, which was associated with the development of severe symptoms; 50% of them corecognized hazelnut 2S albumin, Cor a 14. Both allergens were isolated using chromatographic techniques. Inhibition ELISAs revealed that Jug r 1 strongly inhibited the binding of Cor a 14-specific IgE, but Cor a 14 only partially inhibited Jug r 1-specific IgE binding. Our results showed that patients sensitized to walnut/hazelnut 2S albumins were not a homogeneous population. There were patients sensitized to specific epitopes of walnut 2S albumins and patients sensitized to cross-reactive epitopes between walnut and hazelnut, with Jug r 1 being the primary sensitizer. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Walnut jug r 1 is responsible for primary sensitization among patients suffering walnut-hazelnut 2S albumin cross-reactivity journal article
