Application Comment Organism
medicine to isolate major kiwifruit allergens a large group of kiwi-sensitized patients with different clinical symptoms are investigated. The three major IgE-binding proteins from kiwifruit extracts are isolated and characterized. The isolated kiwifruit allergens are: actinidin Act d 1, glycosylated thaumatin-like Act d 2 and a novel 40 kDa glycoprotein designated as Act d 3.02. Specific IgE to each of the three allergens is found in over 60% of sera from kiwi-sensitized patients, and Act d 1 and Act d 2 induces positive SPT responses in over 50% of the tested patients. A significant link between IgE levels to Act d 1 and Act d 3 and anaphylaxis is uncovered. Act d 1, Act d 2 and Act d 3 are major allergens in the population studied. Severe symptoms after kiwi ingestion are associated with high IgE levels to Act d 1 and Act d 3 Actinidia deliciosa
