ABSTRACT

Background:

Peach gibberellin-regulated protein (peamaclein) has recently emerged as a relevant food allergen in cypress pollen–hypersensitive patients.

Objective:

We investigated monosensitization to peamaclein among Italian cypress pollen–allergic patients.Patients A total of 835 cypress pollen–hypersensitive patients from 28 Italian allergy centers underwent a thorough work-up to determine food-allergic reactions and performed skin prick testing with a commercial peach extract containing peamaclein. IgE to rPru p 3 was measured in peach reactors, and those with negative results were enrolled as potentially monosensitized to peamaclein. IgE reactivity to rPru p 7 was evaluated using immunoblot and an experimental ImmunoCAP with rPru p 7.

Results:

Skin prick tests were positive to peach in 163 patients (19.5%); however, 127 (77.9%) were excluded because they reacted to Pru p 3. Twenty-four patients (14.7%) corresponding to 2.8% of the entire study population) were considered potentially monosensitized to peamaclein. No geographic preference was observed. Seventeen of the 24 patients (70.8%) had a history of food allergy, mainly to peach (n=15). Additional offending foods included other Rosaceae, citrus fruits, fig, melon, tree nuts, and kiwi. On peach immunoblot, only 3 of 18 putative peamaclein–allergic patients reacted to a band at about 7 kDa; an additional 4 patients reacted at about 50-60 kDa. Ten of 18 patients (56%) had a positive result for Pru p 7 on ImmunoCAP.

Conclusion:

Allergy and sensitization to peamaclein seem rare in Italy. Most patients react to peach, although other Rosaceae fruits and several citrus fruits may also be offending foods. Peach and cypress pollen probably also share cross-reacting allergens other than peamaclein (AU)
RESUMEN
Antecedentes La proteína del melocotón regulada por giberelina (peamacleina) ha sido descrita recientemente con alérgeno alimentarioen los pacientes con alergia al polen de ciprés.

Objetivo:

Determinar la presencia de monosensibilización a peamacleina en los pacientes italianos con alergia al polen de ciprés.Pacientes Se estudiaron 835 pacientes italianos con alergia al polen de ciprés, provenientes de 28 centros hospitalarios. En todos ellosse realizó historia clínica dirigida a detectar alergia alimentaria así como prick test con extractos comerciales de melocotón que conteníanpeamacleína. En los pacientes sensibilizados a melocotón se determinó IgE específica a Pru p 3 y aquellos con resultado negativo seclasificaron como potencialmente monosensibilizados a peamacleina. Se realizó determinación de IgE específica a Pru p 7 medianteimmunoblot e ImmunoCAP con Pru p 7.

Resultados:

El prick test con melocotón fue positivo en 163 pacientes (19,5%), pero 127 de estos pacientes fueron excluidos por estarsensibilizados a Pru p 3. 24 pacientes (14,7%), que correspondían al 2,8% de la población global, fueron considerados como potencialmentemonosensibilizados a peamacleína. La distribución de estos pacientes no seguía ningún patrón geográfico. 17/24 (70,8%) tenían historiade alergia alimentaria, en la mayoría de los casos a melocotón (n=15). Los pacientes también referían síntomas con otros alimentoscomo otras frutas rosáceas, cítricos, higo, melón, frutos secos y kiwi. Solo 3/18 pacientes presentaban en el immunoblot una banda dealrededor de 7 kDa; otros 4 pacientes reconocían una banda de 50-60 kDa. 10/18 presentaron positividad en el ImmunoCAP a Pru p 7.

Conclusión:

En Italia, la alergia o sensibilización a peamacleina es baja. La mayor parte de los pacientes reaccionan con el melocotón,aunque otras frutas rosáceas y cítricos también desencadenan síntomas
