An IgE epitope is a part of an allergen that is capable of binding to IgE antibodies and eliciting an immune response. Identifying and characterizing human-allergy-relevant epitopes are important for diagnosis and prognosis of food allergy and development of immunotherapy treatments. This chapter describes the protocol for manual synthesis of overlapping peptides on a cellulose membrane and subsequent dot blotting of the peptides with allergic patients' IgE to map the linear IgE-binding epitopes in food allergens.

Edible insects are attracting increasing interest as sustainable alternative protein sources. Despite being considered a safe food for most population, their consumption can pose health risks for allergic patients. This work focused on isolating proteins from the four-European Union approved insects (Tenebrio molitor, Alphitobius diaperinus, Acheta domesticus, and Locusta migratoria) and evaluating their potential immunoglobulin E (IgE)-reactivity with crustacean-allergic patients' sera.

Pru p 7 (also named Peamaclein) is a member of the gibberellin-regulated protein family, which is the latest foodborne allergenic protein identified in peach. In this paper, the prokaryotic expression and identification of Pru p 7 were performed, and the protein properties, structure, and homology were analyzed. In addition, a preliminary screening of B-cell linear epitopes of Pru p 7 was performed by the bioinformatics software prediction method, and three epitopes were identified using slot-blot immune microarray assay combined with an immune score matrix (P-1, AA16-21, AGYQER; P-2, AA40-46, TYGNKDE; P-3, AA52-59, DLKNSKGN).
