Identification of a Cross-Reactive Allergen (Presumably Tropomyosin) in Shrimp, Mite and Insects

Abstract: A monoclonal antibody to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is described that cross-reacts with an IgE-binding antigen present in insects, Crustacea (e.g. shrimp) and other invertebrates. By means of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, gel filtration and immunofluorescence it was shown that this monoclonal antibody presumably recognizes tropomyosin. Tropomyosin was shown to be involved in cross-reactivity between mite, shrimp and insects in shrimp-allergic patients.

“…Tropomyosin is a major allergen in other Crustacea species (3)(4)(5)(6) and in dust mite (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), cockroach (12,13), lobster (4), squid (14), and other mollusks (15)(16)(17)(18)(19), suggesting that tropomyosin may be regarded as an invertebrate pan-allergen (20). Indeed, cross-reactivity between cockroaches and mites with Crustacea was attributed to tropomyosin (4,21,22).…”

“…Some structures in particular can be regarded as panallergens, being found in a large series of sources. This is true of profilin, which is represented throughout the vegetable kingdom (21); of tropomyosin, which is present in insects, crustaceans, and mites (22); and of common carbohydrate determinants identified in sources otherwise completely unrelated to each other (1). This clearly shows that IgE positivity to a food, while indicating sensitization to it, does not necessarily indicate a clinically important food allergy.…”

“…En la reacción cruzada entre ácaros y camarón participan de manera muy importante los alérgenos de tipo tropomiosina, ya que la eliminación de este alérgeno en el extracto de camarón reduce significativamente su capacidad de reaccionar de manera cruzada con extractos de ácaros domésticos (75). Esta reacción cruzada puede desencadenar una respuesta alérgica en personas con alergia a los ácaros, cuando estos consumen alimentos como el camarón o el caracol (74).…”
