Abstract

Diagnostic reagents based on food allergen extracts often lack sufficient sensitivity. The introduction of well characterized food allergens in molecular allergy diagnosis has been recognized as valid approach to circumvent unstandardized allergen extracts. Banana fruit (Musa acuminata) is a well-established allergen source which besides six characterized allergens, contains unidentified IgE reactive proteins whose clinical relevance remains undefined. By employment of a combinatorial peptide ligand library (CPLL) methodology with 2-D PAGE, mass spectrometric and 2-D immunoblot analysis, a novel allergen from banana fruit was detected in banana as catalase. A recombinant homologue of natural catalase was produced, isolated and biochemically characterized. The recombinant protein showed IgE reactivity in 7 out of 13 tested patients with suspected allergy to banana in immunoblot. Novel banana fruit allergens should be added as components to allergen-microarrays for the diagnosis and the monitoring of banana allergy. By employment of CPLL methodology with 2-D PAGE, mass spectrometric and 2-D immunoblot analysis catalase from banana fruit is identified as a novel allergen, with proposed designation as Mus a 7. IgE reactive recombinant Mus a 7 was produced and should be included in a component-resolved allergy diagnosis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 January 2018.
All research outputs
#17,292,294
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Proteomics
#2,048
of 3,461 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#284,954
of 450,898 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Proteomics
#27
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,461 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 450,898 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
