Detailed Description

Wheat is one of the most common causes in food-induced anaphylaxis and food dependent, exercised induced anaphylaxis. Gold standard for diagnose food allergy is double blind placebo control food challenge, but it is a high risk procedure. The accuracy of skin prick test and specific IgE assay showed unsatisfactory results. It might be explained by these tests may not detect all of the major allergens in wheat allergic patients. Previous studies showed that the major allergens of wheat dependent, exercised induced anaphylaxis are omega5 gliadin, followed by high molecular weight glutenin. For IgE-mediated wheat allergy, the major allergens varied among studies, including omega5 gliadin, glutenin, alpha/beta/gamma gliadin, and the water-soluble part of wheat allergens. There is no study to direct compare the major allergen between patients who have low wheat specific IgE and very high wheat specific IgE. Also, there is no data about the major allergens of wheat anaphylaxis in Thai population.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major allergen sensitized by Thai Patients with Wheat anaphylaxis
Time Frame: 1 hour
To Identify major allergen (most component of protein that cause wheat allergy) between wheat anaphylaxis (low Specific IgE and high Specific IgE) and wheat dependent, exercise induced anaphylaxis by using immunoblot method (Electrophoresis). The results will be shown in electrophoresis gel and can identify in molecular weight (KDa) of protein which represent to major allergen of wheat protein.
