Allergens from five species of shellfishes (oyster Crassostrea gigas, scallop Patinopecten yessoensis, short-neck clam Tapes japonica, turban shell Turbo cornutus, and whelk Neptunea arthritica) were im munologically compared by competitive ELISA inhibition analyses. The cross-reactivity was recog nized between shellfish allergens and Crag 1, the oyster allergen, suggesting that, irrespective of spe cies, the major allergen in shellfishes is tropomyosin. When four synthesized overlapping peptides (P-1, LNRRIQLLEEDM; P-2, RIQLLEEDMERS; P-3, LLEEDMERSEER; P-4, EDMERSEERLQT), which comprehend a part of the sequence of K21d (IgE-binding epitope proposed for Crag 1, IQ LLEEDMERSEER), were subjected to competitive ELISA inhibition experiments, only P-3 inhibited the binding of Crag I to specific IgE antibodies in the sensitized serum. Comparison of the sequence of K21d with those of the four synthesized peptides revealed that both N and C-terminal regions of K21d are essential for the binding to specific IgE antibodies. In addition, P-3 inhibited the binding of specific IgE antibodies to scallop and whelk allergens as well as oyster allergens, but substantially not to those from the other two species. It was thus concluded that shellfish allergens do not always have IgE-bind ing epitopes in the same regions, although they are all thought to be tropomyosins.
