Allergen Details
| Allergen name: | Len c 2 |
|---|---|
| Allergen source: |
Major taxonomic group: Plantae Eudikotyledons Order: Fabales Species: Lens culinaris (Lentil) NCBI Taxomony ID: 3864 |
| Biochemical name: | Seed-specific biotinylated protein |
| MW(SDS-PAGE): | 66 kDa |
| Allergenicity: | Of 22 lentil-allergic patients tested, 9 (41%) showed IgE binding to purified Len c 2 on immunoblot. IgE binding to Lentil extract was inhibited up to 45% by purified Len c 2 in CAP inhibition assay. |

No record of the submission, but based on the reference of Sanchez-Monge...Gabriel Salcedo, the peptide list and description, it is from their 2000 paper in JACI, v106:955-961. Note that they have only a few peptides from protease digested and semi-purified fragments that have high identity match to a pea biotinylated seed protein. Only pooled serum immunoblot is shown although claimed that 9 of 22 lentil allergic subjects bound to this protein, without clear description of method or results.
