[The advances of allergen component detection in IgE-mediated food allergy].

There are many types in food allergy, and the most common is mediated by IgE. Currently, the diagnosis of food allergy mainly relied on skin prick test and serum specific IgE of allergen extract, which can not identify cross-sensitization. Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) can identify the major allergen components and cross-components of food allergens, which plays an important role in dietary guidance, prognosis monitoring and diagnosis of special types of IgE-mediated food allergy. This article enumerates clinical characteristics of the IgE-mediated common food allergies, such as milk, egg and seafood allergy, and special type of food allergy, such as cat pork syndrome, oral allergy syndrome, α-gal syndrome and food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, summarizes the advances of CRD in these types of IgE-mediated food allergy, in order to provide an evidence for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of IgE-mediated food allergy.

The chemical structure of a polysaccharide from the broth of cultured Streptomyces virginia H03 was investigated. There might be 1-->2 and 1-->4 and no 1-->6 glycosidic linkages in the polysaccharide according to periodate oxidation and Smith degradation. Four fragments including 2,3,4,6-Me4-Man, 2,3,6-Me3-Gal, 2,4,6-Me3-Glc, and 3,6-Me2-Man were found in the methylated polysaccharide. Furthermore, the polysaccharide has a beta-Glc(1-->4)-alpha-Man(1-->4)-alpha-Gal(1-->3)-linked backbone and a branch at the C-2 position of (1-->2)-linked mannose residues as determined by the method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The assumed structure of the polysaccharide is [formula see text]. Additionally, the polysaccharide has a wide antibiogram and was found to be most effective against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli.
