Development of hypoallergenic plants
Abstract
The subproject aims to identify hypoallergenic wheat and soy species, which lack or contain lower levels of allergens but preserve their nutritional value. To identify hypoallergenic wheat and soy species, different wheat species and soybean germplasm will be screened with allergen-specific antibody probes for the presence and amounts of important wheat and/or soy allergens. In addition, a screening of species and their tissues with IgE antibodies from allergic patients will be performed and the allergenic activity of the species will be tested in basophil activation tests to identify hypoallergenic cultivars. Furthermore, we will search for wheat cultivars containing low levels of food allergens using sera from subjects suffering from food allergy, CD and NCWS. The subproject should lead to the identification of hypoallergenic wheat and soy germplasm to be utilized in breeding programs. It is envisaged that planting and ultilization of hypoallergenic wheat and soy germplasm will reduce the frequencies of allergic sensitization and thus contribute to allergy prevention.
