AB  - S1.1. Checking of N protein purity Recombinant N protein purity was checked after imidazole removal and buffer exchange by SDS PAGE (Figure 6.). For comparison, commercial high-purity HSA was also analyzed. S1.2. Identification of N protein Tandem mass spectrometry identification of proteins in an in-gel digested band of N protein (Figure S1, lane 3), confirmed the identity of N protein with high scores and peptide coverage (Fig. S2.). S2. Purification of polyclonal antibodies from mice and rabbit sera For the development of an ELISA test specific for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 N protein, recombinantly produced N protein was used for the immunization of mice and rabbits. Sera obtained from rabbits and mice were then tested for titer and specificity (Figure S3 and Figure 1). To determine the titer of polyclonal sera required to detect N protein in samples, we use wells coated with N protein and serial dilution of sera pools from different animals. After multiple washing steps, we detected the binding of rabbit and mice antibodies using secondary biotinylated antibodies and streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase chimaera or secondary antibodies with previously coupled alkaline phosphatase, where the amount of enzymes’ substrate converted to the product was measured as an increase in absorbance at 405 nm. As shown in Figure S3A, unpurified sera pools from both animals showed very high titers and expected logarithmic decrease of signal with dilution. Based on the obtained data titer for unpurified sera was determined to be X. The same trend was observed for pools purified using AS precipitation and rabbit sera purified using protein A affinity chromatography (Figure S3B and S3C). As shown in Figure S3D, clear bands from antibodies could be observed in both full and purified samples. Western blot analysis showed only one protein band on mass around 40 kDa, a Accession number / Protein Name Score Coverage (%) Unique peptides P0DTC9|NCAP_SARS2 Nucleoprotein OS=Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, 46 kDa 504.9 74.22 183 mass of purified N protein suggesting that the obtained sera is highly specific for N protein (Figure 2). Section S3 Diagnostic validationS3.1. Stabilization of capture antibodies Pre-coated ELISA plates were prepared for usage in clinical practice. To ensure the preservation of the biofunctionality of the surface-bound capture antibodies, the commonly used stabilizing excipient, 3% sucrose with 10% glycerol in MilliQ water was used. The plates were incubated with 300 μL per well of a stabilizing agent for 1 hour at room temperature. After an hour of incubation, the solution was carefully aspirated from each well. The plate was then blotted against clear paper towels to remove any remaining liquid, and the plates were allowed to air dry for 3 hours at RT. Dried plates were wrapped in parafilm and stored at 4 °C for later use. To remove the stabilizing agent coating, wells were washed with slightly acidic distilled water (pH of 6) three times, leaving the plate prepared for subsequent assay steps. Section S4. Characterization of N protein by HRMS S4.1. SDS PAGE and in-gel digestion Characterization of the produced recombinant N protein was done by HRMS after its in-gel digestion. A total of 10 μg of purified protein(s) were loaded in a 0.5 cm wide well and after SDSPAGE gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (CBB). Protein gel bands were washed, reduced with dithiothreitol, and alkylated with iodoacetamide, followed by in-gel trypsin digestion1 (Shevchenko et al. 2006) with some minor modifications. The amount of trypsin was leveled to a trypsin/sample ratio of 1:30 (w/w). The final concentration of MS-grade trypsin (diluted in 25 mM ammonium bicarbonate buffer) was 1 ng/μL. Sample clean-up was performed using zip tips HyperSep C18 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Bremen, Germany). S5.1 Immunization of rabbits and mice Mice immunization Swiss Webster mice (n=10) were immunized subcutaneously with N protein formulated with Complete Freund`s adjuvant (CFA; 1st dose, 100 μg N protein / dose) or Incomplete Freund`s adjuvant (IFA; 2nd and 3rd doses, 50 μg N protein / dose) in three-week intervals. Mice were housed in small groups of up to six animals and had access to commercial mice food and water ad libitum. N protein solution (500ug/ml in PBS) was sterilized by filtering through 0.22 um filters. Sterile N protein solution was mixed with CFA (Sigma, Cat. No. F5881) at ratio 1:1 (v/v) under aseptic conditions. In total 400 ul of N protein-CFA emulsion (N protein final concentration 250ug/ml) was applied per immunization per mouse. Initial immunization was done by injection of N protein in CFA given subcutaneously (SC) in four sites (thigh pocket, base of tail, and mediastinum) with a 100 ul using 23-25 gauge needle. In total 100 ug of N protein was applied per mouse (25 ug per site). Subsequent immunizations with booster doses were done in the same way, but using IFA (Sigma, Cat. No. F5506) instead of CFA and N protein final concentration was 125 ug/ml. . In total 50 ug of N protein was applied per mouse (12.5 ug per site). Immunizations were done every three weeks. Mice immunization scheme: 1. day 0 – N protein in PBS: CFA = 1:1 (v/v); N protein final concentration was 250 μg/mL; 400 μL per mice (4x100 μL), e.g. 100 μg per mice 2. day 21 - N protein in PBS: IFA = 1:1 (v/v); N protein final concentration was 125 μg/mL; 400 μL per mice (4x100 μL), e.g. 50 μg per mice 3. day 42 - N protein in PBS: IFA = 1:1 (v/v); N protein final concentration was 125 μg/mL; 400 μl per mice (4x100 μL), e.g. 50 μg per mice First bleeding was performed two weeks after the 3rd dose, and then in intervals not shorter than two weeks. The sera obtained after the first bleeding was tested for the production of specific anti-N protein antibodies.

AB  - In this study, a cost-effective sandwich ELISA test, based on polyclonal antibodies, for routine quantification SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein was developed. The recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice and rabbit antisera. Polyclonal N protein-specific antibodies served as capture and detection antibodies. The prototype ELISA has LOD 0.93 ng/mL and LOQ 5.3 ng/mL, with a linear range of 1.52–48.83 ng/mL. N protein heat pretreatment (56 °C, 1 h) decreased, while pretreatment with 1% Triton X-100 increased analytical ELISA sensitivity. The diagnostic specificity of ELISA was 100% (95% CI, 91.19–100.00%) and sensitivity was 52.94% (95% CI, 35.13–70.22%) compared to rtRT-PCR (Ct < 40). Profoundly higher sensitivity was obtained using patient samples mostly containing Wuhan-similar variants (Wuhan, alpha, and delta), 62.50% (95% CI, 40.59 to 81.20%), in comparison to samples mostly containing Wuhan-distant variants (Omicron) 30.00% (6.67–65.25%). The developed product has relatively high diagnostic sensitivity in relation to its analytical sensitivity due to the usage of polyclonal antibodies from two species, providing a wide repertoire of antibodies against multiple N protein epitopes. Moreover, the fast, simple, and inexpensive production of polyclonal antibodies, as the most expensive assay components, would result in affordable antigen tests.

AB  - As byproducts of essential oil distillation, hydrolates are used in natural cosmetics/biomedicine due to their beneficial skin effects. However, data on their safety with relevant biological targets, such as human skin cells, are scarce. Therefore, we have tested nine hydrolates from the Lamiaceae family with skin fibroblasts that are responsible for extracellular collagenous matrix builds. Thyme, oregano, and winter savoury hydrolates showed several times higher total phenolics, which correlated strongly with their radical scavenging and antioxidative capacity; there was no correlation between their viability profiles and the reducing sugar levels. No proteins/peptides were detected. All hydrolates appeared safe for prolonged skin exposure except for 10-fold diluted lavender, which showed cytotoxicity (~20%), as well as rosemary and lavandin (~10%) using viability, DNA synthesis, and cell count testing. Clary sage, oregano, lemon balm, and thyme hydrolates (10-fold diluted) increased fibroblast viability and/or proliferation by 10–30% compared with the control, while their viability remained unaffected by Mentha and winter savoury. In line with the STITCH database, increased viability could be attributed to thymol presence in oregano and thyme hydrolates in lemon balm, which is most likely attributable to neral and geranial. The proliferative effect of clary sage could be supported by alpha-terpineol, not linalool. The major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with cytotoxic effects on fibroblasts were borneol, 1,8-cineole, and terpinene-4-ol. Further research with pure compounds is warranted to confirm the roles of VOCs in the observed effects that are relevant to cosmetic and wound healing aspects.

abstract = "As byproducts of essential oil distillation, hydrolates are used in natural cosmetics/biomedicine due to their beneficial skin effects. However, data on their safety with relevant biological targets, such as human skin cells, are scarce. Therefore, we have tested nine hydrolates from the Lamiaceae family with skin fibroblasts that are responsible for extracellular collagenous matrix builds. Thyme, oregano, and winter savoury hydrolates showed several times higher total phenolics, which correlated strongly with their radical scavenging and antioxidative capacity; there was no correlation between their viability profiles and the reducing sugar levels. No proteins/peptides were detected. All hydrolates appeared safe for prolonged skin exposure except for 10-fold diluted lavender, which showed cytotoxicity (~20%), as well as rosemary and lavandin (~10%) using viability, DNA synthesis, and cell count testing. Clary sage, oregano, lemon balm, and thyme hydrolates (10-fold diluted) increased fibroblast viability and/or proliferation by 10–30% compared with the control, while their viability remained unaffected by Mentha and winter savoury. In line with the STITCH database, increased viability could be attributed to thymol presence in oregano and thyme hydrolates in lemon balm, which is most likely attributable to neral and geranial. The proliferative effect of clary sage could be supported by alpha-terpineol, not linalool. The major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with cytotoxic effects on fibroblasts were borneol, 1,8-cineole, and terpinene-4-ol. Further research with pure compounds is warranted to confirm the roles of VOCs in the observed effects that are relevant to cosmetic and wound healing aspects.",

AB  - Thermally processed peanuts are ideal plant models for studying the relationship between allergenicity and antioxidant capacity of protein-rich foods, besides lipids, carbohydrates and phytochemicals. Peanut is highly praised in the human diet; however, it is rich in allergens (>75% of total proteins). One-third of peanut allergens belong to the products of genes responsible for the defence of plants against stress conditions. The proximate composition of major peanut macromolecules and polyphenols is reviewed, focusing on the identity and relative abundance of all peanut proteins derived from recent proteomic studies. The importance of thermal processing, gastrointestinal digestion (performed by INFOGEST protocol) and their influence on allergenicity and antioxidant properties of protein-rich plant food matrices is elaborated. Antioxidant properties of bioactive peptides from nuts were also considered. Moreover, there are no studies dealing simultaneously with the antioxidant and allergenic properties of protein- and polyphenol-rich foods, considering all the molecules that can significantly contribute to the antioxidant capacity during and after gastrointestinal digestion. In summary, proteins and carbohydrates are underappreciated sources of antioxidant power released during the gastrointestinal digestion of protein-rich plant foods, and it is crucial to decipher their antioxidant contribution in addition to polyphenols and vitamins before and after gastrointestinal digestion.

AB  - Food allergies have increased dramatically in the last decade, especially in developedcountries. Food tolerance requires strict maintenance of a specific microbial portfolio inthe gastrointestinal tract, as changes in the gut microbiome can lead to its disruption,which in turn causes inflammation and pathogenic gut conditions leading to thedevelopment of food allergies. Any environmental factors that lead to a disturbanceand/or malfunction of the gastrointestinal tract and digestive performance favor thedevelopment of food allergies.Based on that, what do we know about the role of increasing anthropogenic chemicals,including emerging ones, resulting from the new global situation?There is awareness that their effects are multifaceted, e.g., chemicals affect the growth ofplants and animals and thus the quality of the food produced. In addition, chemicals affectour food during its production and processing, but also affect our body andgastrointestinal tract. It is time to fill the knowledge gaps and understand how theseinteractions between environmental triggers such as industrial and traffic pollution,transition and heavy metals, pesticides, chemtrails, etc., affect food allergens and theirallergenicity, adjuvant effects, and the increasing prevalence of food allergies.Some improvements in this area are already being made through advances in ‘omics’technologies (i.e., proteomics, genomics, metabolomics) and systems biology approachesthat will hopefully provide a scientific understanding of the relationship betweenincreasing food allergies and the increasingly present wide variety of anthropogenicchemicals in our environment.

AB  - Background: Although still considered a safer alternative to classical cigarettes, growing body of work points toharmful effects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) affecting a range of cellular processes. The biological effect ofe-cigarettes needs to be investigated in more detail considering their widespread use.Methods: In this study, we treated V79 lung fibroblasts with sub-cytotoxic concentration of e-cigarette liquids, withand without nicotine. Mutagenicity was evaluated by HPRT assay, genotoxicity by comet assay and the effect on cel-lular communication by metabolic cooperation assay. Additionally, comprehensive proteome analysis was performedvia high resolution, parallel accumulation serial fragmentation-PASEF mass spectrometry.Results: E-cigarette liquid concentration used in this study showed no mutagenic or genotoxic effect, however itnegatively impacted metabolic cooperation between V79 cells. Both e-cigarette liquids induced significant depletionin total number of proteins and impairment of mitochondrial function in treated cells. The focal adhesion proteinswere upregulated, which is in accordance with the results of metabolic cooperation assay. Increased presence of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including carbonylation and direct oxidative modifications, was observed. Data areavailable via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD032071.Conclusions: Our study revealed impairment of metabolic cooperation as well as significant proteome and PTMsalterations in V79 cells treated with e-cigarette liquid warranting future studies on e-cigarettes health impact.

AB  - The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV2 virus poses a global health threat with over 5 million deaths recorded. There is little understanding regarding SARS-CoV2 pathogenesis in the human airways and disease severity increases with age. Neutrophils are white blood cells found in large numbers in the airways of the lungs in severe COVID-19 patients. It is not known whether this influx of neutrophils into the airway has a protective or detrimental effect. We aim to understand the role of neutrophils during COVID-19 pathology, using an experimental infection model of the airway epithelium from the eldelry and children. To do this, we collect nasal airway cells from healthy elderly and children and grow them at air-liquid interface. Once differentiation and ciliation of these cells is reached, we infect the cells with SARS-CoV2 virus and allow neutrophils to migrate from the basolateral (blood) to the apical (air) side of the epithelium, similar to a physiological airway. Using flow cytometric analyses, we measure the expression of activation markers and the number of neutrophils that migrate across the epithelium of different ages in response to SARS-CoV2 infection. Preliminary work shows less viable neutrophils recovered from the elderly epithelium, more activated neutrophils when migrating through the elderly epithelium, as well as increased numbers of neutrophils remaining on the basolateral (blood) side of the elderly epithelium. These findings point to an inflammatory neutrophil phenotype influenced by the damaged elderly epithelium and supports the hypothesis that neutrophils are responsible for the severity of disease.

AB  - Food hypersensitivity reactions are adverse reactions to harmless dietary substances, whose causes are hidden within derangements of the complex immune machinery of humans and mammals. Until recently, enterocytes were considered as solely absorptive cells providing a physical barrier for unwanted lumen constituents. This review focuses on the enterocytes, which are the hub for innate and adaptive immune reactions. Furthermore, the ambiguous nature of enterocytes is also reflected in the fact that enterocytes can be considered as antigen-presenting cells since they constitutively express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Taken together, it becomes clear that enterocytes have an immense role in maintaining oral tolerance to foreign antigens. In general, the immune system and its mechanisms underlying food hypersensitivity are still unknown and the involvement of components belonging to other anatomical systems, such as enterocytes, in these mechanisms make their elucidation even more difficult. The findings from studies with animal models provide us with valuable information about allergic mechanisms in the animal world, while on the other hand, these models are used to extrapolate results to the pathological conditions occurring in humans. There is a constant need for studies that deal with this topic and can overcome the glitches related to ethics in working with animals.

abstract = "Food hypersensitivity reactions are adverse reactions to harmless dietary substances, whose causes are hidden within derangements of the complex immune machinery of humans and mammals. Until recently, enterocytes were considered as solely absorptive cells providing a physical barrier for unwanted lumen constituents. This review focuses on the enterocytes, which are the hub for innate and adaptive immune reactions. Furthermore, the ambiguous nature of enterocytes is also reflected in the fact that enterocytes can be considered as antigen-presenting cells since they constitutively express major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Taken together, it becomes clear that enterocytes have an immense role in maintaining oral tolerance to foreign antigens. In general, the immune system and its mechanisms underlying food hypersensitivity are still unknown and the involvement of components belonging to other anatomical systems, such as enterocytes, in these mechanisms make their elucidation even more difficult. The findings from studies with animal models provide us with valuable information about allergic mechanisms in the animal world, while on the other hand, these models are used to extrapolate results to the pathological conditions occurring in humans. There is a constant need for studies that deal with this topic and can overcome the glitches related to ethics in working with animals.",

AB  - Edible insects are recommended as a future food because of many reasons. The nutritional value of edible insects is one of criteria for the selection of seven most promising species among which is Tenebrio molitor. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of different flour Tenebrio molitor. Twelve different extraction conditions were set up in which three parameters were combined: pH extraction solutions (6, 8 and 12.5), temperature (30 °C and 60 °C), and ultrasound (US). Shotgun proteomics of trypsin digests profiled protein isolates. The highest protein yield was in extractions at pH 12.5. The temperature elevation and US application significantly increased the yield of isolated proteins at pH 12.5 but their solubility at the pH 7.4 was lower compared to isolates at pH 6 and 8. 1D-SDS-PAGE showed marked differences in protein profiles on various extraction conditions, with highest number of the distinctive bands at pH 8 at 30 °C. Shotgun proteomics showed that extraction condition at pH 12.5, on 30 °C has the highest numbers of different proteins, however, among the top 20 abundant proteins are chitin-associated proteins, allergens and proteinases, while at pH 8 these proteins are not enriched. Highly basic extraction significantly contributes to protein hydrolysis while application of US contributes to the protein cross-linking and this effect is more prominent at high temperatures.

AB  - Peanut allergy affects approximately up to 3 % of children and up to 2 % of the adult world population, causing reactions ranging from mild to severe. Major peanut allergens are well characterized but little is known about their post-translational modifications and even less is known about the influence of thermal treatment on their profile. Protein post-translational modification patterns may differ between raw and thermally treated peanuts, which could affect its functional properties, such as allergic potential. In this study we combined proteomic and immunological methods to characterize the modifications or proteoforms of four major peanut allergens - Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3 and Ara h 6 in raw and roasted peanut. Bottom-up high-resolution accurate mass spectrometry and a specialized proteomics software package to identify, map and compare modifications of major peanut allergens between differently treated peanut kernels. Modification-specific antibody western blot was used to confirm the presence of modifications on major allergens in both extracts. Twenty different post-translational modifications in four prominent peanut allergens (Ara h 1-3, 6) were identified, while twelve were quantitatively compared between raw and roasted peanuts by high-resolution mass spectrometry and a proprietary proteomics software. post-translational modification specific antibodies confirmed the presence of these modifications in western-blots of raw and roasted peanuts. This study initiates appreciation of modifications and thermal processing affecting food quality, and development of state-of-the-art methodology in the risk assessment of allergen contamination.

AB  - Background: In vitro pepsin digestion is important factor when assessing protein foodallergenicity. Roasted hazelnut is more common in human nutrition than a raw hazelnut;however, all studies were focused on Cor a 9 allergen obtained from a raw hazelnut. Thereare only two studies employing in vitro INFOGEST digestion harmonized protocol onhazelnut with its full matrix. The aim of this study was to assess immunoreactivity of rawand roasted hazelnut gastric digests and to compare secondary/tertiary structure of Cor a 9allergen purified from these two sources.Methods: Digestion resistant protein fragments were analysed by 1D/2D electrophoresis.Following digestion, IgE binding from patients’ pooled sera and by specific antibodies, wereassessed in ELISA and immunoblot. CD spectroscopy was applied for Cor a 9 structuralanalyses.Results: Cor a 11 and acidic forms of Cor a 9 were more prone to pepsin proteolysis, yettheir large fragments survived partially. Cor a 8 was protected by lipids, retaining capabilityto bind its specific antibody. Roasting did not significantly affect secondary structure of themost abundant hazelnut allergen, Cor a 9.Conclusion: Roasting of hazelnut seems to boost IgE binding derived from pooled sera ofhazelnut allergic patients with oral-gastric allergen digests.

AB  - Cor a 8 is a relevant allergen that can cause severe allergic reactions. It is a 115 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 9 kDa and is a member of the non-specific lipida transfer protein family. This allergen is resistant to high temperatures, pH changes, gastric and intestinal enzymes. The main route of exposure is through ingestion. In order to examine its resistance to digestion, we have applied a popular 1.0 INFOGEST protocol [1], specialized for the complete food, which in vitro mimics physiologically relevant conditions of oral-gastric-intestinal digestion. The aim of this study was to compare Cor a 8 resistance to gastric digestion, from both, raw and roasted hazelnuts, before and upon pepsin (gastric) digestion. Stability of the Cor a 8 protein was investigated by simulation of oral and gastric digestion phases, performed with ground raw and roasted hazelnut kernels. Hazelnut proteins were extracted from the digestion mixture and analyzed by 1D and 2D SDS-PAGE, while raw and roasted Cor a 8 western blots were probed with specific anti-Cor a 8 antibodies in 1D and 2D immunoblots. The electrophoretic patterns of the raw and roasted extracts were similar. 1D SDS PAGE profiles demonstrated high stability of Cor a 8 against enzymatic treatments. Control samples of Cor a 8 from raw and roasted hazelnut extracts migrated as a single band at around 12 kDa in 1D immunoblot. However, in case of roasted hazelnut, the protein showed a slightly lower capacity to bind specific anti-Cor a 8 antibody, as compared to raw hazelnut extract. In 2D immunoblot, with higher resolution, specific antibody binding was decting a significant and noticeable smear in the basic region indicating a range of different protein variants. This was more pronounced detectable in the case of roasted sample upon digestion, pointing to a mix of variants in this allergen batch. It has been suggested that the allergenicity of the Cor a 8 is almost insensitive to temperature. The allergen is stable even after digestion and roasting processes up to 140˚C. We hypothesize that a lipid-rich food matrix delays extraction of proteins, thereby delaying their gastrointestinal digestion, which may affect allergen sensitizing capacity and clinical symptoms.

AB  - Introduction: Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies with a prevalence of 0.5%-2.5% in the general population. The most common allergen present in shellfish is tropomyosin. Detection of tropomyosin in seashells is a challenge because there are no specific antibodies for seashells’ tropomyosin. Our aim was to verify the presence of tropomyosin in Anadara seashells using an immunoproteomic approach and to investigate the level of cross-reactivity with shrimps.Methods and Results: Proteins from lyophilized seashells Tegillarca granosa (TG) and Anadara broughtonii (AB) were extracted in: RIPA buffer (1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0,1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 1mM EDTA) and Rehydration buffer (7M urea, 2M thiourea, 2% CHAPS and 10mM DTT). Protein concentration of extracts was determined by Bradford assay and SDS-PAGE. The presence of tropomyosin has been supported by commercial tropomyosin standard in 1D SDS-PAGE. With 1D immunoblot, it was possible to confirm the reactivity of seashells’ tropomyosin to rabbit anti-shrimp tropomyosin polyclonal antibodies, confirming its presence. Tropomyosin’s presence was also validated with 1D immunoblot using monoclonal antibodies. 2D electrophoresis showed that most of samples’ proteins are in acidic pI range with prevalence of spots in the range 35-50kDa, and, by comparing spots to 2D immunoblot with polyclonal antibodies, it is possible to confirm tropomyosin’s presence in Anadara seashells.Conclusions: We found that tropomyosin is present in both blood clam species. Both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies raised against shrimp tropomyosin can detect seashells tropomyosin by immunoblot pointing to a potential antibodies cross-reactivity of allergic subjects to shrimps and seashells.

abstract = "Introduction: Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies with a prevalence of 0.5%-2.5% in the general population. The most common allergen present in shellfish is tropomyosin. Detection of tropomyosin in seashells is a challenge because there are no specific antibodies for seashells’ tropomyosin. Our aim was to verify the presence of tropomyosin in Anadara seashells using an immunoproteomic approach and to investigate the level of cross-reactivity with shrimps.Methods and Results: Proteins from lyophilized seashells Tegillarca granosa (TG) and Anadara broughtonii (AB) were extracted in: RIPA buffer (1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0,1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 1mM EDTA) and Rehydration buffer (7M urea, 2M thiourea, 2% CHAPS and 10mM DTT). Protein concentration of extracts was determined by Bradford assay and SDS-PAGE. The presence of tropomyosin has been supported by commercial tropomyosin standard in 1D SDS-PAGE. With 1D immunoblot, it was possible to confirm the reactivity of seashells’ tropomyosin to rabbit anti-shrimp tropomyosin polyclonal antibodies, confirming its presence. Tropomyosin’s presence was also validated with 1D immunoblot using monoclonal antibodies. 2D electrophoresis showed that most of samples’ proteins are in acidic pI range with prevalence of spots in the range 35-50kDa, and, by comparing spots to 2D immunoblot with polyclonal antibodies, it is possible to confirm tropomyosin’s presence in Anadara seashells.Conclusions: We found that tropomyosin is present in both blood clam species. Both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies raised against shrimp tropomyosin can detect seashells tropomyosin by immunoblot pointing to a potential antibodies cross-reactivity of allergic subjects to shrimps and seashells.",

AB  - Post-translational modifications (PTMs) occur in many forms and shapes, widely influencing protein behavior. High-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS), coupled with dedicated engines for the identification of unspecified PTMs, is a powerful method for their mapping. A majority of proteomic experiments utilize trypsin for digestion, which cleaves the C-terminal peptide bonds of arginine (Arg) and lysine (Lys) amino acids with high catalytic efficiency and selectivity, unless they are followed with proline. At the same time, Arg and Lys residues are frequently modified during food processing by heat and non-thermal treatments, causing oxidation, carbamylation, and various forms of side chain carbonylation, including the other common PTMs (methylation, acetylation, etc.). Consequently, we explored the possibility to re-assess already generated proteomic data (food protein/allergen tryptic peptides) with respect to the possible modulation of the tryptic intestinal digestion pattern caused by PTMs incorporated at Arg and Lys residues. However, most of the proteomic bottom-up experiments are run with porcine trypsin that has been reductively methylated to increase its stability and minimize autoproteolytic effects. Therefore, in this chapter, the utility of the aforementioned idea was explored, by reviewing the differences in structure, affinity, specificity, and catalytic efficiency of trypsin, primarily from porcine, bovine and human species. Porcine trypsin either from pancreas or in recombinant form showed superior performance compared to human and bovine tryptic counterparts. In addition, set of software tools for identification and analyses of PTMs was reviewed with the aim to isolate those capable of in-depth PTMs profiling and their simultaneous relative quantification, such as PEAKS PTM (PEAKS Studio, Bioinformatics Solution Inc., Ontario Canada). Based on our preliminary experimental results, conclusion is that the proposed idea is plausible, because if potential hindrance effects caused by PTMs are observed with porcine trypsin, then they can be just augmented within human intestinal digestion, with respect to inferior performance of human trypsin.

AB  - Common properties of food allergens are prominent resistance to heat treatment and enzyme proteolysis. Stability of the proteins upon gastrointestinal proteolysis of food highly correlates with its allergenic potential. At this moment, the scientific community is putting a lot of effort to connect the available knowledge on the structure and function of food proteins, with stability to proteolysis in order to provide the most reliable prediction tool for allergenicity of novel proteins. Moreover, choosing the conditions under which gastrointestinal proteolysis is simulated may profoundly affect the results of assays and allergenicity assessment. At the beginning of research, for the link between allergenicity and proteolytic stability, purified allergens were used. However, this approchad was proved to be prone to production of erroneous data, since the proteolytic stability of purified proteins was frequently affected by the methodology used for protein purification and the ratio of protens to digestive enzymes used in the assays. Nowadays, the scientific community thrives to establish in vitro digestion protocols that mimic physiological conditions and take into account complex compositon of the food. New studies support this tendency, since it was shown that the presence of various biomolecules in food matrix affects the proteolysis in the simulated gastrointestinal conditions. On top of that, survival of intact proteins upon proteolysis seems not to be necessary, but frequently protein fragments of higher molecular weight with partially preserved structure might be enough to elicit allergic reaction in sensitized individuals.

AB  - Objective: Camel milk is highly nutritious food with numerous health benefits proposed. Demandfor camel milk has increased worldwide.Production of camel milk powders facilitate its transport,prolonge shelf-life, and also offer an attractive additive for various food products. In this study wecharacterized proteins of soluble fraction of freeze/spray dried camel milk powders.Material and Methods: Whole camel milk powders were prepared by spray drying treatment at sixdifferent inlet temperatures (190°C - 250°C) or by freeze drying. The soluble protein fractions uponthe treatments were analysed by combination of electrophoretic techniques and circular dichroism.Freeze dried camel milk and spray dried at 250°C were analysed by mass spectrometry.Results: SDS-PAGE revealed non-uniform increase in Mw of major protein bands, while nativeelectrophoresis revealed non-uniform decrease in pI values with increased inlet temperature ofspray drying. That indicated occurence of the Maillard reaction. Far-UV circular dichroism spectrashowed no differences in secondary structures between freeze and spray dried samples. Massspectrometry identified α-lactalbumin, glycosylation-dependant cell adhesion molecule 1(GLYCAM1), immunoglobulin heavy chain, peptidoglycan recognition protein and camel serumalbumin as dominant proteins in soluble fraction of camel milk powders. Carboxymethyl-lisyne(CML), well known marker of Maillard reaction in food analysis, was detected on GLYCAM1 and onimmunoglobulin heavy chain.Conclusions: Our results indicate glycation of camel milk proteins via Maillard reaction upon spraydrying treatment which further may affect techno-functional properties of camel milk powders,their shelf-life and nutritional value.Acknowledgments: This work was supported by the Ministry of Education, Science andTechnological Development of the Republic of Serbia, grant number 172024.

AB  - Brief introduction: Stability to gastric digestion represents a very important parameter of food protein allergenicity. Usually digestion experiments are carried out on purified proteins or protein extracts; however, use of solid food is far closer to the in vivo situation, taking into account food protein interactions with other food components, such as polyphenols and lipids.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare digestion stability and allergenicity of large and small peptides released after pepsin digestion of whole raw and roasted hazelnut kernels under standardized and physiologically relevant in vitro conditions.Methodology: In vitro simulated oral and gastric phase digestion was carried out with ground raw and roasted hazelnut kernels. Digested proteins were extracted from the mixture and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, 2D-PAGE, and compared with Image Master 2D Platinum 7.0. Western blot probed with allergic patients’ sera and specific antibodies for Cor a 8.Main findings: Several important hazelnut seed storage digestion resistant proteins and peptides have been identified and characterized. Most abundant hazelnut allergens were resolved on a 2DE map, for instance acidic and basic chains of Cor a 9, and Cor a11. Digestion-resistant peptides of Cor a 11 and Cor a 9 were able to bind IgE. Lipid transfer protein (Cor a 8) was highly resistant to gastric proteolysis. Conclusion: To conclude, roasted hazelnut is more prone to gastric digestion than raw, and cause milder IgE response in patients. Gastric phase digestion of raw and roasted hazelnut kernels results in partial extraction and digestion of Cor a 11 and Cor a 9 into digestion- resistant peptides with preserved IgE-binding epitopes. These results demonstrate substantial resistance of raw and roasted hazelnut allergens to gastric digestion since they remained mostly intact after 2 h of gastric (pepsin) digestion and retained their allergenicity.

AB  - Introduction. Peanut allergy affects a large portion of world population causing reactions rangingfrom mild to severe. Major peanut allergen IgE epitopes are well characterized but little is knownabout their post-translational modifications (PTM) and how they are affected by thermaltreatment. PTM profile may differ between raw and thermally treated peanut, which could affectits allergic potential depending on type, size and position of modifications.Objective. Our aim was to analyse and compare PTM profiles of 4 major peanut allergens - Ara h 1,Ara h 2, Ara h 3 and Ara h 6, as well as their amounts in raw and roasted samples using bottom-upproteomics methods.Methodology. Full peanut protein extracts (both thermally treated and non-treated) were digestedin gel and in solution, and analysed by a Top10 nLC-MS/MS method by LTQ Orbitrap XL (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc., Germany). Within the extracts major allergens - Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3 andAra h 6 were identified, label free quantified (LFQ) and searched for PTMs by Peaks X software(Bioinformatics solutions Inc.I, Canada). Epitope sequences were acquired from the ImmuneEpitope Database (IEDB www.iedb.org).Main findings. LFQ results show that there is no significant change in the amountsof any of thestudied allergens between raw and roasted extracts.Out of the 4 allergens Ara h 6 is modified in thehighest portion, with respect to the protein size: 15% and 12% of its positions are modified in rawand roasted sample, respectively. Total of 21 modifications were quantified between the twopreparations, with oxidation (M), methylation (K,R) and dethiomethylation affecting the largestnumber of peptides.Conclusions. Peanut allergen epitopes are indeed carriers of PTMs that differ in pattern andquantity between treated and non-treated extracts. The in silico discovered PTMs could affectprotein digestibility and allergenicity.

abstract = "Introduction. Peanut allergy affects a large portion of world population causing reactions rangingfrom mild to severe. Major peanut allergen IgE epitopes are well characterized but little is knownabout their post-translational modifications (PTM) and how they are affected by thermaltreatment. PTM profile may differ between raw and thermally treated peanut, which could affectits allergic potential depending on type, size and position of modifications.Objective. Our aim was to analyse and compare PTM profiles of 4 major peanut allergens - Ara h 1,Ara h 2, Ara h 3 and Ara h 6, as well as their amounts in raw and roasted samples using bottom-upproteomics methods.Methodology. Full peanut protein extracts (both thermally treated and non-treated) were digestedin gel and in solution, and analysed by a Top10 nLC-MS/MS method by LTQ Orbitrap XL (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc., Germany). Within the extracts major allergens - Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3 andAra h 6 were identified, label free quantified (LFQ) and searched for PTMs by Peaks X software(Bioinformatics solutions Inc.I, Canada). Epitope sequences were acquired from the ImmuneEpitope Database (IEDB www.iedb.org).Main findings. LFQ results show that there is no significant change in the amountsof any of thestudied allergens between raw and roasted extracts.Out of the 4 allergens Ara h 6 is modified in thehighest portion, with respect to the protein size: 15% and 12% of its positions are modified in rawand roasted sample, respectively. Total of 21 modifications were quantified between the twopreparations, with oxidation (M), methylation (K,R) and dethiomethylation affecting the largestnumber of peptides.Conclusions. Peanut allergen epitopes are indeed carriers of PTMs that differ in pattern andquantity between treated and non-treated extracts. The in silico discovered PTMs could affectprotein digestibility and allergenicity. Further investigation is necessary in order to fully understandthe impact protein modifications could have on their allergenic potential.",

AB  - An association between pollution (e.g., from traffic emissions) and the increased prevalence of respiratory allergies has been observed. Field-realistic exposure studies provide the most relevant assessment of the effects of the intensity and diversity of urban and industrial contamination on pollen structure and allergenicity. The significance of in-depth post-translational modification (PTM) studies of pollen proteomes, when compared with studies on other aspects of pollution and altered pollen allergenicity, has not yet been determined; hence, little progress has been made within this field. We undertook a comprehensive comparative analysis of multiple polluted and environmentally preserved Phleum pratense (Timothy grass) pollen samples using scanning electron microscopy, in-depth PTM profiling, determination of organic and inorganic pollutants, analysis of the release of sub-pollen particles and phenols/proteins, and analysis of proteome expression using high resolution tandem mass spectrometry. In addition, we used quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) immunoblotting. An increased phenolic content and release of sub-pollen particles was found in pollen samples from the polluted area, including a significantly higher content of mercury, cadmium, and manganese, with irregular long spines on pollen grain surface structures. Antioxidative defense-related enzymes were significantly upregulated and seven oxidative PTMs were significantly increased (methionine, histidine, lysine, and proline oxidation; tyrosine glycosylation, lysine 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal adduct, and lysine carbamylation) in pollen exposed to the chemical plant and road traffic pollution sources. Oxidative modifications affected several Timothy pollen allergens; Phl p 6, in particular, exhibited several different oxidative modifications. The expression of Phl p 6, 12, and 13 allergens were downregulated in polluted pollen, and IgE binding to pollen extract was substantially lower in the 18 patients studied, as measured by quantitative ELISA. Quantitative, unrestricted, and detailed PTM searches using an enrichment-free approach pointed to modification of Timothy pollen allergens and suggested that heavy metals are primarily responsible for oxidative stress effects observed in pollen proteins.

Mikenus et al. published astandardized static digestion method for food, based on physiological conditions emphasizing theimpact of food matrices. Immunoreactive proteins (large fragments) and peptides (short digestionresistant peptides SDRPs; <10 kDa), to which the immune system of the gastrointestinal tract isexposed during digestion of peanut proteins, has not been investigated under pure physiologicalconditions suggested by this protocol.Matherial and methods: Whole grain of grounded raw peanut was incubated with human α-amylase, and pepsin, mimicking the effects of oral and gastric digestion, in total duration of 2h.Bottom up proteomic approach, immunoblotting with allergen-specific antibodies from peanut-sensitized patients, enzyme-linked immunosorbent inhibition assay and ImmunoCAP tests, wereused to identify and characterize peanut digesta.Results: After 2h of oral/gastric phase we got, intact proteins, large, digestion resistant peptides(DRP) and SDRPs, as well. Ara h 2 and Ara h 6 remained mostly intact, and short DRPs from Ara h2 and Ara h 6 were more potent in inhibiting IgE binding than Ara h 1 and Ara 3. Ara h 1 and Ara h3 showed preserved allergenic capacity, as well. Almost all of identified short DRPs from Ara h 1,Ara h 2 and Ara h 3, with preserved allergenic potential, were constituents of continuous epitopesequences found via Immune Epitope Database (www.iedb.org).Conclusion: Processes of protein extraction from the matrix and their enzymatic digestion occursimultaneously.

AB  - Objective: Haliotis discus (Japanese abalone), mollusks among various shellfish, is a highlynutritive food resource in the world, but also among the eight allergic food groups accounting forapproximately 90% of all immunoglobulin E food allergies worldwide. The general objective of ourresearch is to comprehensively investigate stability and structures of pepsin-resistant allergens, oftheir larger fragments, and of short digestion resistant peptides (SDRPs) released by pepsindigestion of whole raw and extract of shellfish, under standardized and physiologically relevantgastric conditions.Materials and Methods: Extract of raw whole shellfish (eRSS) and whole raw shellfish (wRSS),were pepsin digested according to standardized static digestion protocol. Controls were treated in asame manner without adding pepsin. Supernatant of samples and its counterpart controls wereprecipitated with TCA/acetone. Obtained proteins were assessed by 2D SDS PAGE and 1D SDS-PAGE, under reducing and non-reducing conditions. 1D SDS-PAGE of RSS were analyzed byncLC-MS/MS (Orbitrap LTQ) shot-gun proteomics. Relative quantification was performed by LFQalgorithm within Peaks 8.5 software package Bioinformatics Solutions Inc. (BSI), Waterloo,Canada.Results and Conclusion: 1D SDS-PAGE analysis of eRSS and wRSS, and its controls showed arange of proteins in varied concentrations between 10-250 kDa. In extracted and whole rawshellfish, approximately 22 prominent protein bands were observed including the distinct bandscorresponding with the molecular weights of recognized shellfish allergen, tropomyosin (37-39kDa). Fewer high molecular weight proteins were observed followed by protein smearing,specifically around the low molecular weight protein bands. The smearing could possibly be due tothe breakdown products and the glycation. There were slight differences between the proteinprofiles under reducing and non-reducing conditions as well. Nevertheless, there was the retentionof a band in the 37kDa molecular weight marker in all 4 samples, likely consistent with heat stabletropomyosin (TM). Mass spectrometry showed allergens that are characterized (Hal d 1 and Hal di1), with 90% of sequence homology with main tropomyosin allergens from seafood.Scientific impact and relevance: The results will highlight effects of food matrix on shellfishallergens digestibility proving its relevancy in molecular allergology. Moreover, an insight will beobtained on the differences in digestibility of allergenic versus non-allergenic tropomyosins in thereal food matrix.

Stability to gastric digestion represents very important parameter of food proteins allergenicity. Usually studies of digestion were carried out on purified proteins, but has never been examined the influence of different food matrices on different allergens. Allergens from the nsLTP family are known to share a characteristic structure which is highly resistant to proteolysis, and therefore, IgE cross-reactivity of nsLTPs needs to be investigated in the environment such as complex food matrix.Objective: The aim of this research project is to reveal how proteins are digested (by Minekus protocol) within the natural food matrix and possible consequences on their allergenicity, with the special focus on ns-LTP.Methods: Pure nsLTPs from walnut were labelled with Alexa 633 and added to whole grain of grounded raw walnuts, incubated with human α-amylase, and pepsin, therefore mimicking the effects of oral and gastric digestion, in total duration of 2h. Proteins extracted from the mixture were analyzed by one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional SDS-PAGe, and respective 1D and 2D immunoblots.Results: Most proteins from pepsin digested walnut sample were more resistant to digestion according to 1D SDS PAGE. Pepsin digested raw walnut sample with nsLTP were assessed by 2D PAGE to compare profiles of the digested and control sample (no pepsin added). 2D SDSPAGE of digested and control walnut samples showed almost identical profiles, especially in the context of fluorescently labelled nsLTP allergens. These results demonstrate substantial resistance of nsLTP allergens to gastric digestion since they remained mostly intact after 2 h of gastric (pepsin) digestion.Conclusion: Further research is needed to be able to grade stability/resistance of selected food allergens to gastric digestion as a consequence of food matrix modulating effects. We propose that certain combinations of foods and allergens could provide additional protection or on the contrary ease the digestion, by comparing trends between control and digested samples and between different digested combinations as well.
