“…Cross-reactivity between LTP from botanically distinct sources may occur [2,3,4,5,6], particularly in patients showing high levels of IgE specific for peach LTP, the primary sensitizer to this allergen [7]. LTP are both pepsin resistant [6] and heat stable [7,8,9,10,11], and are therefore potentially harmful allergens [12]; to date, systemic allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis, urticaria/angioedema and asthma) have been reported in LTP-allergic patients following the ingestion of Rosaceae [2, 5, 6, 13, 14], walnut and hazelnut [5, 6,15,16,17], maize [5, 18], beer [5, 19, 20], grapes [21], mulberry [22], peanut, and mustard [5, 6]. In this study, we report 3 cases of rice-induced anaphylaxis that occurred in LTP-allergic patients; these cases show that rice should be considered as another potential cause of allergic reaction in some patients sensitized to this protein.…”

Recent studies show that the lipid transfer protein (LTP), the major Rosaceae allergen in patients not sensitized to birch pollen, is a largely cross-reacting allergen. Moreover, it is a potentially hazardous allergen due to its stability upon thermal treatment and pepsin digestion. The present study reports 3 cases of rice-induced anaphylaxis in LTP-allergic patients. In vitro inhibition studies, carried out using LTP purified from both rice and apple as well as whole peach extract, show that LTP was the relevant allergen in these patients and demonstrate the cross-reactivity between rice LTP and peach/apple LTP.

“…In 112 patients with a history suggestive of food allergy beginning after the age of 10 years, 49 challenges were positive for peach (75%) and 28 were positive for almond (39%) (160). Anaphylactic reactions have been observed with cherry, peach, and almond (83, [161][162][163]. An anaphylactic reaction to several members of the Prunoideae subfamily was observed in a latexallergc patient (164).…”

“…Due to their pepsin resistance [72] and heat stability [73,74,75,76,77], LTPs are potentially harmful allergens [78]; systemic reactions (including anaphylaxis, urticaria/angioedema and asthma) following the ingestion of Rosaceae [68, 71, 72, 79, 80], walnut and hazelnut [71, 72,81,82,83], maize [71, 84], beer [71, 85, 86], grapes [87], mulberry [88], peanut and mustard [71, 72] have been reported in LTP-allergic patients. An interesting feature of allergy to LTP is its geographic distribution; all studies dealing with allergy to this protein have been carried out in Southern Europe, mainly in Italy and Spain.…”

Background: Molecular biology techniques have led to the identification of a number of allergens in vegetable foods, but due to the lack of purified food proteins for routine diagnostic use, the detection of sensitizing allergens remains a nearly impossible task in most clinical settings. The allergen-resolved diagnosis of food allergy is essential because each plant-derived food may contain a number of different allergens showing different physical/chemical characteristics that strongly influence the clinical expression of allergy; moreover, many allergens may cross-react with homologue proteins present in botanically unrelated vegetable foods. Objective: Through a review of the available literature, this study aimed to detect ‘markers’ of sensitization to specific plant food allergens that are easily accessible in the clinical practice. Results: There are several ‘markers’ of sensitization to different allergenic proteins in vegetable foods that can be helpful in the clinical practice. Specific algorithms for patients allergic to Rosaceae and to tree nuts were built. Conclusion: Clinical allergologists lacking the assistance of an advanced molecular biology lab may take advantage of some specific clinical data as well as of some ‘markers’ in the difficult task of correctly diagnosing patients with plant food allergy and to provide them the best preventive advice.
