Order: Fagales
Species: Corylus avellana (Hazelnut)
NCBI Taxomony ID: 13451
Biochemical name:7S globulin seed storage protein (vicilin) containing N-terminal alpha-hairpinin (vicilin_N) peptides
MW(SDS-PAGE):6-8 kDa and 47.5 kDa
Allergenicity:106 children with suspected hazelnut allergy were tested. All had IgE to hazelnut extract as measured by ImmunoCAP. Of those, 56 (53%) had positive ImmunoCAP to a recombinant protein containing 5 of the 12 N-terminal peptides, while 73 (69%) had IgE to the recombinant mature vicilin (containing only the cupin domains).
