Resum
Scope: LTP-syndrome is characterized by sensitization (IgE) to multiple non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) with a variable clinical outcome. The treatment is primarily based on offending food avoidance. However, the determination of Pru p 3-specific IgE is currently the main diagnostic tool to assess sensitization to nsLTPs. Herein, the study evaluates improvement of LTP-syndrome diagnosis and clinical management using a new IgE multiplex-immunoblot assay with a high diversity of food nsLTPs.
Methods and results: An EUROLINE-LTP strip with 28 recombinant nsLTPs from 18 allergenic sources is designed. In total the study investigates 38 patients with LTP-syndrome and compares results from the nsLTPs (LTP-strip) with the respective food extracts of Prick-by-prick (PbP) testing. The agreement exceeds 70% for most nsLTPs, e.g., Pru p 3 (100%), Mal d 3 (97%), Pru av 3 (89%), Pha v 3 isoforms (87%/84%), Ara h 9 (82%), Cor a 8 (82%), and Jug r 3 (82%). The functionality and allergenic relevance of nine recombinant nsLTPs are proven by Basophil activation testing (BAT).
Conclusions: The new IgE multiplex-immunoblot nsLTP assay shows a good diagnostic performance allowing culprit food assessment. Negative results from LTP-strip may indicate potentially tolerable foods, improving diet intervention and patients' quality of life.
