Abstract：
Marine molluscs are seafood consumed worldwide and could cause food allergies, while investigation on their sensitizing components and cross-reactivity seems to be rare. Furthermore, allergy to mites may result in anaphylaxis in mollusc-allergic individuals owing to their cross-reactivity. The aim of the study was to identify cross-reactive allergens and investigate the cross-reactivity between different mollusc groups and mite-mollusc. The extracted mollusc and dust mite proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and IgE-binding components were recognized by immunoblotting with sera from patients sensitized to mollusc and mite. Cross-reactivity of different mollusc groups and mite-mollusc was assessed using ELISA and inhibition ELISA. The results of the immune detection, ELISA, and inhibition ELISA indicated that different mollusc groups and mite-mollusc showed varying degrees of cross-reactivity. The most frequently recognized cross-reactive protein was paramyosin from different mollusc groups and dust mite, while cross-reactive allergen paramyosin in the mite extract was identified and evaluated by MS and Allermatch, respectively. Inhibition ELISA studies also revealed that paramyosin played an important role in molluscan and mite-molluscan cross-reactivity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the cross-reactivity involving mollusc species and mite-mollusc, which can be used to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of mite- and mollusc-allergic disorders.
