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.

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.
