Hydrolyzed wheat proteins (HWP) can induce immediate hypersensitivity through skin contact and/or food ingestion. Such patients develop IgE against unmodified wheat proteins without allergy to wheat. Our objective was to study the IgE-reacting content of HWP. We compared the reactivity of HWP and unmodified wheat proteins with IgE from patients suffering from immediate hypersensitivity to HWP. We studied the cross-reactivity between one HWP preparation and wheat proteins using immunoblot inhibition experiments. This showed that the tested HWP carried mainly unmodified epitopes originating from wheat proteins. The size distribution of polypeptides from two HWP preparations was analyzed by size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC), and their reactivity with IgE was studied. This showed that they contained highly IgE-reacting high molecular weight entities, likely resulting in a rearrangement of peptides issued from gluten processes. These multiepitopic entities could explain the high immunogenicity of HWP for sensitized people.

Among the wheat prolamins, D-type glutenins display a highly repetitive sequence similar to omega-gliadins, but they contain a cysteine, that allows them to be included in the gluten macropolymers. An omega-gliadin-like D-type glu...

Two genes of wheat low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS), B16 and P73, were cloned and expressed in E coli. They were homologous to proteins encoded respectively at Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci. The N-terminal and C-terminal h...
