Abstract
The present invention provides novel antigens of an allergy to fish, methods and kits for diagnosing an allergy to fish, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antigen, fish or fish eggs in which the antigen is eliminated, a processed product of the fish or the fish eggs or fish which lay the fish eggs or have hatched from the eggs, and a tester for determining the presence or absence of a fish antigen in an object of interest.
Claims3
A method for detecting binding between an antigen and an IgE antibody present in a sample, comprising contacting the antigen with the IgE antibody, wherein the antigen is isolated and immobilized to a carrier or a surface and defined as:
- an Alpha-actinin-3 protein or a variant thereof, wherein said Alpha-actinin-3 protein or variant thereof is capable of binding specifically to an IgE antibody of a patient with an allergy to fish, and is defined below in any of (a) to (d):
- (a) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, with or without a conserved amino acid substitution of a residue of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (b) having 100% identity to the full-length amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- (c) comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence having 100% identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- or
- (d) encoded by a nucleic acid that hybridizes over its full length under high stringent conditions of 0.1×SSC to 2×SSC hybridization at 55° C. to 65° C. and/or 0.2×SSC to 2×SSC washing at 50° C. to 68° C., with the nucleic acid complementary to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
A method for detecting binding between an antigen and an IgE antibody present in a sample, comprising contacting the antigen with the IgE antibody, wherein the antigen is isolated and immobilized to a carrier or a surface and defined as a Heat shock cognate 70 kDa protein or a variant thereof, wherein said Heat shock cognate 70 kDa protein or variant thereof is capable of binding specifically to an IgE antibody of a patient with an allergy to fish, and is defined below in any of (a) to (d):
- (a) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 26, with or without a conserved amino acid substitution of a residue of SEQ ID NO:
- 26;
- (b) having 100% identity to the full-length amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 26;
- (c) comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence having 100% identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 25;
- or
- (d) encoded by a nucleic acid that hybridizes over its full length under high stringent conditions of 0.1×SSC to 2×SSC hybridization at 55° C. to 65° C. and/or 0.2×SSC to 2×SSC washing at 50° C. to 68° C., with the nucleic acid complementary to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 25.
A method for detecting binding between an antigen and an IgE antibody present in a sample, comprising contacting the antigen with the IgE antibody, wherein the antigen is isolated and immobilized to a carrier or a surface and defined as:
- a Capping protein (Actin filament) muscle Z-line beta protein or a variant thereof, wherein said Capping protein (Actin filament) muscle Z-line beta protein or variant thereof is capable of binding specifically to an IgE antibody of a patient with an allergy to fish, and is defined below in any of (a) to (d):
- (a) comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 61, with or without a conserved amino acid substitution of a residue of SEQ ID NO:
- 61;
- (b) having 100% identity to the full-length amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 61;
- (c) comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence having 100% identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 60;
- or
- (d) encoded by a nucleic acid that hybridizes over its full-length under high stringent conditions of 0.1×SSC to 2×SSC hybridization at 55° C. to 65° C. and/or 0.2×SSC to 2×SSC washing at 50° C. to 68° C., with the nucleic acid complementary to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 60.
