Food allergy is a complex disease, with multiple environmental factors involved. Considering the regulatory effect of toxin A (Tcd A) on biological processes of allergic reactions, the role of oral exposure to Tcd A on food allergy was investigated. The intestinal permeability and β-hexosaminidase were promoted by Tcd A using the in vitro Caco-2 and HT-29 cells coculture monolayer and bone marrow-derived mast cell (MCs) degranulation model. When the sensitized mice were challenged with OVA and 4 μg of Tcd A, specific IgE and MCPT-1 levels were increased. The results of flow cytometry and ELISA demonstrated that the Th1 and Treg cells were reduced and higher IL-5 was induced. The jejunum staining showed that villus injury and MC accumulation were aggravated. All of the findings demonstrated that Tcd A could aggravate food allergy, and the orally exposed risk factors aggravating food allergy warrant increasing attention.

, a crustacean of substantial importance, is a frequent trigger of food allergies. This study examined the molecular and immunological properties of troponin C from (Scy p TnC) as an allergen. The findings indicated that thermal stability of Scy p TnC comprised 150 amino acids and facilitated the induction of CD63/CD203c in basophils from crab allergy patients.

Rationale: Approximately 32 million people in the United States suffer from food allergies. Some food groups, such as legumes - peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, have a high risk of cross-reactivity. However, the murine model of multiple food group cross-reactivity is limited.

Background: Food allergies are common among children worldwide. This occurs when the immune system has an abnormal reaction to certain foods. This reaction can range in severity from mild to severe and may lead to anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
