Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel antigen of an allergy to soybean.
- the present invention also relates to a kit, a composition, and a method for diagnosing allergy to soybean.
- the present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising such an antigen and soybean or processed products of soybean in which such an antigen is eliminated or reduced.
- the present invention further relates to a tester for determining the presence or absence of a soybean antigen in an object of interest.
- IgE antibodies specific to particular antigens are produced. Physiological consequences caused by interaction between such IgE antibodies and such particular antigens elicit allergic reactions.
- antigen reagents are commonly prepared simply by grinding a candidate allergenic food, material or the like (Patent Literature 1).
- conventional antigen reagents do not necessarily contain only a particular antigenic protein inducing an allergic reaction (allergen component), and rather contain different types of protein components.
- conventional antigen reagents contain varied amounts of allergen components.
- allergen component a particular antigenic protein inducing an allergic reaction
- allergen component a particular protein acting as an allergen component
- diagnosis efficiency was not sufficiently high when using a conventional allergy testing agent in patients possessing an IgE antibody binding to an allergen component present in small amounts in an allergen such as food.
- the severity and symptoms of an allergic reaction do not necessarily correlate with the content of an allergen component. Even when a patient's IgE antibody reacts with an allergen component present in trace amounts in a candidate allergic food, material or the like, the allergic reaction may develop allergic symptoms or may affect the severity of those symptoms.
- Electric charge-based purification methods can be exemplified by column chromatography using ion exchange resins, and isoelectric focusing. Purifications based on molecular weight difference can be exemplified by centrifugal separation, molecular-sieve column chromatography, and SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis).
- the present invention provides novel antigens of an allergy to soybean.
- the present invention also provides methods and kits for diagnosing allergy to soybean.
- the present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising such an antigen and soybean or processed products of soybean in which such an antigen is eliminated or reduced.
- the present invention further provides testers for determining the presence or absence of a soybean antigen in an object of interest.
- the present inventors had made intensive studies to identify causative antigens of an allergy to soybean. As a result, the inventors succeeded in identifying novel antigens to which an IgE antibody in the serum of a soybean-allergic patient specifically binds. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.

- the “allergy” refers to the state in which, when a certain antigen enters the body of a living individual sensitized to said antigen, the living individual shows a hypersensitive reaction detrimental to him/her.
- IgE antibodies specific to antigens are produced. IgE antibodies bind to mast cells or basophils.
- an antigen specific to such an IgE antibody enters again the body of a patient with an allergic disease, said antigen combines with the IgE antibody bound to mast cells or basophils, and the IgE antibody crosslinks said antigen on the cell surface, resulting in physiological effects of IgE antibody-antigen interaction.
- physiological effects include release of histamine, serotonin, heparin, eosinophil chemotactic factors, leucotrienes, or the like. These released substances provoke an allergic reaction resulting from the combination of an IgE antibody with particular antigens. Such allergic reactions caused by particular antigens occur through the aforementioned pathway.
- the “allergy to soybean” refers to the state in which an individual has an allergic reaction caused by proteins, etc. present in soybean which act as an antigen.
- the allergy to soybean can produce an allergic reaction upon contact with, or consumption of, an antigen present in soybean.
- allergic reactions caused by consumption of foods are particularly referred to as “food allergies”.
- the allergy to soybean may be a food allergy.
- the “antigen” refers to a substance that provokes an allergic reaction, and is also referred to as an “allergen component”.
- the antigen is preferably a protein.
- the “protein” refers to a molecule having a structure in which naturally occurring amino acids are joined together by peptide bond.
- the number of amino acids present in a protein is not particularly limited, but proteins having about 2 to 50 amino acids joined together by peptide bond are in some cases called “peptides”. In the case where amino acids can form different enantiomers, the amino acids are understood to form an L-enantiomer, unless otherwise indicated.
- the amino acid sequences of proteins or peptides as used herein are represented by one-letter symbols of amino acids in accordance with standard usage and the notational convention commonly used in the art. The leftward direction represents the amino-terminal direction, and the rightward direction represents the carboxy-terminal direction.
- soybean proteins contained in soybean were analyzed by the aforementioned technique to identify causative antigens of an allergy to soybean. To be specific, soybean proteins were subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis under the conditions described below.
- the electrophoresis in the first dimension was isoelectric focusing, which was performed using isoelectric focusing gels with a gel-strip length of 5 to 10 cm and a gel pH range of 3 to 10.
- the isoelectric focusing was performed using the IPG gels, Immobiline Drystrip (pH3-10NL), produced by GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corporation (hereinafter abbreviated as “GE”).
- the electrophoresis system used was IPGphor produced by GE.
- the maximum current of the electrophoresis system was limited to 75 ⁇ A per gel strip.
- the voltage program adopted to perform the first-dimensional isoelectric focusing was as follows: (1) a constant voltage step was performed at a constant voltage of 300 V until the volt-hours reached 750 Vhr (the current variation width during electrophoresis for 30 minutes before the end of this step was 5 ⁇ A); (2) the voltage was increased gradually to 1000 V for 300 Vhr; (3) the voltage was further increased gradually to 5000 V for 4500 Vhr; and then (4) the voltage was held at a constant voltage of 5000 V until the total Vhr reached 12000.
- the electrophoresis in the second dimension was SDS-PAGE, which was performed using polyacrylamide gels whose gel concentration at the distal end in the direction of electrophoresis was set to 3 to 6% and whose gel concentration at the proximal end was set to a higher value than that at the distal end. More specifically, the SDS-PAGE was performed using NuPAGE 4-12% Bris-Tris Gels (IPG well, Mini, 1 mm) produced by Life Technologies. The electrophoresis system used was XCell SureLock Mini-Cell produced by Life Technologies. The electrophoresis was run at a constant voltage of 200 V for about 45 minutes using an electrophoresis buffer composed of 50 mM MOPS, 50 mM Tris base, 0.1% (w/v) SDS and 1 mM EDTA.
