The nematode Anisakis simplex is a representative parasite for marine animals and occasionally causes not only anisakiasis but also allergic reactions in sensitized subjects. Besides the known allergens, a number of unidentified allergens have been suggested to still exist in A. simplex. In this study, a new heat-stable allergen of 15kDa (named Ani s 8) was purified from the third stage larvae of A. simplex by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300, anion-exchange HPLC on Mono Q and reverse-phase HPLC on TSKgel Phenyl-5PW RP. Analysis by fluorescence ELISA showed that 7 of 28 Anisakis-allergic patients had elevated serum levels of IgE to Ani s 8. On the basis of the determined partial amino acid sequence, the complete sequence of Ani s 8 (composed of 150 amino acid residues) was elucidated by cDNA cloning, in which as many as 32 homologs of the cDNA encoding 10 isoforms of Ani s 8 were detected. Ani s 8 shares amino acid sequence homology (up to 36%) with several members of the SXP/RAL-2 protein family, including Ani s 5 (15kDa) previously identified as an A. simplex allergen. Inhibition ELISA data demonstrated the IgE cross-reactivity between Ani s 8 and Ani s 5.
线虫简单异尖线虫是海洋动物的代表性寄生虫,不仅偶尔会引发异尖线虫病,还会在敏感个体中引起过敏反应。除了已知的过敏原外,有迹象表明简单异尖线虫中仍存在许多未鉴定的过敏原。在本研究中,通过在Sephacryl S-300上进行凝胶过滤、在Mono Q上进行阴离子交换HPLC以及在TSKgel Phenyl-5PW RP上进行反相HPLC,从简单异尖线虫的第三期幼虫中纯化出一种新的15kDa热稳定过敏原(命名为Ani s 8)。荧光ELISA分析表明,28名对异尖线虫过敏的患者中有7人的血清IgE水平升高至Ani s 8。基于所确定的部分氨基酸序列,通过cDNA克隆阐明了Ani s 8的完整序列(由150个氨基酸残基组成),其中检测到多达32个编码Ani s 8的10种同工型的cDNA同源物。Ani s 8与SXP/RAL-2蛋白家族的几个成员具有氨基酸序列同源性(高达36%),包括先前被鉴定为简单异尖线虫过敏原的Ani s 5(15kDa)。抑制ELISA数据证明了Ani s 8与Ani s 5之间的IgE交叉反应性。
