We investigated sera of 12 patients with IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to potato, using different in vitro methods. Radioallergosorbent test classes 2-4 (7.6-46.5% binding) were measured with potato allergen disks. Immunoblot detected allergen bands with an isoelectric point range of approximately 4.5-5.2 and mainly in a molecular weight range between 16.00 and 30.00 kD. But also at molecular weights of 43.00 and 65.00 kD allergen bands (IgE specificities) could be detected. Histamine release assay performed with isolated fractions of the potato extract showed a great individual variation and positive results of fractions of molecular weights between 10.00 and 80.00 kD. From our data we conclude that raw potato is a 'multiallergenic' vegetable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D011198 Solanum tuberosum A plant species of the genus SOLANUM, family SOLANACEAE. The starchy roots are used as food. SOLANINE is found in green parts. Potatoes,Potato,Solanum tuberosums,tuberosum, Solanum,tuberosums, Solanum
D011852 Radioallergosorbent Test An in vitro allergen radioimmunoassay in which allergens are coupled to an immunosorbent. The coupled allergens bind the IgE in the sera of patients which in turn binds radioisotope-labeled anti-IMMUNOGLOBULIN E antibodies.

D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
