Molecular Cloning, Prokaryotic Expression, and Immunological Characterization of β-Enolase from Grass Carp ().

β-Enolase is a cross-allergen commonly found in fungi, plants, and aquatic products. Although studies on the allergenicity of fish enolase have been reported in recent years, they are still limited to a few species of marine fish. Therefore, the detection of freshwater fish in the food industry requires more studies of the molecular characterization as well as the allergenicity of enolase.

The differences of characteristics and allergenicity between natural and recombinant tropomyosin of Macrobrachium nipponense.

Tropomyosin (TM) is the main allergen of Macrobrachium nipponense. Recombinant allergens have great prospects in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of food allergens. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in structure and allergenicity between natural TM and recombinant TM.

Ovalbumin promotes innate immune response of Caenorhabditis elegans through DAF-16 and SKN-1 pathways in insulin/IGF-1 signaling.

Ovalbumin (OVA) is a major allergen in eggs and could induce severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, where the innate immune system works as a regulator. The mechanism of how innate immunity adjusts to food allergy is relatively well-studied, however, the effects of allergen uptake on the innate immune system remain unclear. Therefore, the Caenorhabditis elegans (C.
