Dear Editor, u5-Gliadin and g-gliadin are known as causative allergens for conventional and hydrolyzed wheat protein-type of wheatdependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA), respectively. 1 As a wheat-eliminating diet is crucial for patients with WDEIA, measuring the amounts of u5-and g-gliadins, in processed foods or hypoallergenic wheat is helpful to ensure the safety of patients. 2 e4 WDEIA is typically diagnosed based on the results of a positive-oral challenge test to exercise and/or aspirin intake in combination with wheat ingestion. Previous reports have shown that serum gliadin monitoring in combination with oral challenge tests was useful to exclude the false-negative results from diagnosis for WDEIA. 5, 6 Thus, monitoring of u5-and g-gliadins content in plasma can further improve the precision of diagnosis for WDEIA using oral challenge tests. We previously produced rabbit polyclonal antibodies (Abs) specifically recognizing the IgE-binding epitope sequences (KQQSPEQQQFPQQQIPQQQ) of u5-gliadin. 7 In this study, we also produced rabbit polyclonal Abs specifically recognizing the IgE-binding epitope sequences (QFLQPQQPFPQQPQ) of g-gliadin. 4, 8 Furthermore, we determined the content of u5-and g-gliadin in wheat cultivars and rat plasma after gluten ingestion using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the derived Abs. Polyclonal Abs (IgGs) against IgE-epitope peptides of g-gliadin were produced using New Zealand white rabbits and affinity purified using allergen peptide. IgGs against the u5-gliadin epitope peptide produced in a previous study was used. 7 To determine the contents of total u5-and g-gliadin in samples, sandwich ELISA were performed using each anti-gliadin Ab. This study was approved by the animal ethics committee of Hiroshima University (approval No. A16-138). All details are shown in Supplementary Methods. We first confirmed the specific detection of wheat proteins with sandwich ELISA using the IgE-binding epitope Abs. The ELISA using the anti-gliadin Ab could detect total gliadin (Tokyo Chemical Industry, Tokyo, Japan) but not each recombinant gliadin component produced in Escherichia coli (Supplementary Fig. 1A). 4 The ELISA using anti-u5-gliadin Ab specifically detected u5-gliadin alone whereas the ELISA using anti-g-gliadin Ab reacted with u1, 2-gliadin more strongly rather than g-gliadins (Supplementary
