食物口服免疫耐受中调节性T细胞及其影响因素研究进展

食物过敏反应大致可分为致敏、激发和效应三个阶段。在致敏阶段,食品中的过敏原透过肠道黏膜免疫屏障,经抗原递呈细胞处理、T细胞活化等步骤,诱导机体产生特异性IgE并结合于肥大细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞表面;在激发和效应阶段,过敏原与IgE发生桥联反应,介导组胺、白三烯等免疫介质释放,它们与效应器官上的相应受体结合,会引起局部或全身过敏反应。食物过敏发生的根本原因是部分个体对特定过敏原口服免疫耐受的破坏,而诱导建立和重建口服免疫耐受是应对食物过敏较有前景的方法,或可突破该病目前尚无有效治愈方法的瓶颈。本文就口服免疫耐受建立和重建中起核心作用的调节性T细胞以及其密切相关因素如树突状细胞、调节性B细胞、肠道菌群及其代谢产物进行综述,以期为食物过敏的防治工作提供帮助。     

牛乳β-乳球蛋白过敏原表位及其潜在应用

过敏原表位是过敏原直接参与免疫反应的物质基础, 也是导致过敏反应的“元凶”。牛乳β-乳球蛋白是lipocalin家族的代表和常用模式蛋白, 它的表位信息比较完整, 拥有7个人血清IgE和6个IgG的线性表位、3个IgE结合的构象性表位以及7个T细胞表位。另外, 它的动物源血清IgE、IgG和T细胞表位也在不断被发现。牛乳β-乳球蛋白的表位信息为基于表位的应用提供了重要的支撑, 它们的应用主要涉及到预测食物过敏原的致敏性, 食物过敏的交叉反应, 食物过敏的诊断, 食物过敏的免疫治疗以及食物过敏原的检测等5个方面。     

热处理对食物致敏性的影响及其体外细胞学评价

综述了热加工处理对典型食物过敏原致敏性的影响,重点介绍了体外细胞学评价方法在评价食物过敏原致敏性变化方面的一些研究进展。人们生活方式和环境的改变,以及日常食物丰富所致过敏诱发因素的增加,食物过敏发生比例大幅提高,食品过敏问题已成为目前国内外食品安全研究的热点之一。食品热加工可以改变食物过敏原的蛋白表位结构、聚合特性以及过敏原诱发淋巴细胞释放细胞因子的特性。由于食品基质、配料和处理过程的差异,加工过程中食品致敏性的变化尚无普遍规律可循。通过对典型食物过敏原的分离纯化、分子鉴定,可以追踪过敏原组分在食物加工过程中的改变规律。目前过敏效应分子IgE抗体的水平变化常常被作为致敏性评价的指标,酶联免疫分析和免疫印迹试验是常用的测定手段。然而,对于过敏反应阶段由IgE抗体与效应细胞上FcεR受体之间的结合引发系列炎症反应的部分,则无法通过这些方法进行判断。全面评价食物过敏原的致敏效应不但需要监测IgE抗体水平,也需要监测效应细胞致敏程度,以及释放的细胞因子水平。     

日本食物过敏原的管理及对我国的启示

随着我国食物过敏问题对消费者和食品企业的影响越来越严重,食物过敏原的管理和控制问题亟待解决。日本是世界上第一个建立强制性食物过敏标识并加以立法保护的国家,现已形成完善的食物过敏原标签管理系统。日本食物过敏原法规的形成过程、约束范围及食物过敏原标签的标注方式、不规范标注的处罚措施和过敏原成分的检测方法,对中国制定符合本国国情的食物过敏原强制性管理法规和建立相关的检测技术具有启示作用。

食物过敏原标准物质的研究进展

食物过敏原标准物质是解决食物过敏问题的关键实验材料之一。在食物过敏原标准化方面,鸡蛋、牛奶和花生过敏原的分离纯化、结构和免疫学性质表征方面取得了良好的效果,为研发单个过敏原蛋白标准物质提供了支撑。在美国国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）颁布的8种过敏性食物标准物质中,只有RM8445用于检测食物过敏原;由欧盟资助的两大项目中,EuroPrevall项目主要构建了一个食物过敏原信息的数据库,而CREATE项目则首次证实重组花粉过敏原rBetv1可作为天然花粉过敏原Betv1的候选标准物质,为开发重组食物过敏原标准物质提供了一种可借鉴的策略。总之,研发食物过敏原致敏性蛋白标准物质是一项重要的任务,极具挑战性。

模拟消化方法在食物过敏原潜在致敏性评价中的应用进展

食物过敏已成为全球范围内日益严重的食品安全问题。对食物过敏原的潜在致敏性进行评价有助于更好地了解食物过敏原自身特性及其对过敏人群免疫系统的影响。模拟消化实验是食物过敏原潜在致敏性评价的有力手段。食物过敏原蛋白的消化稳定性为其潜在致敏性评价结果提供了重要参考依据,但并非所有食物过敏原均具有较强的消化稳定性。食物过敏原的潜在致敏性一方面取决于过敏原蛋白在通过消化道时的消化稳定性,另一方面取决于消化产物中具有免疫刺激能力的过敏原表位的丰度。不同模拟消化方法的应用对食物过敏原的消化结果及潜在致敏性评价结果的真实性和可比性具有重要影响。本文系统地介绍了体内及体外模拟消化方法的优缺点及在食物过敏原潜在致敏性评价中的应用研究进展,并综述了食物过敏原消化稳定性与其潜在致敏性评价结果的关系。以期对食物过敏原致敏性评价体系的进一步完善和发展有所帮助。     

肉类过敏研究进展

近年来食物引起的过敏性疾病发病率持续增高,已成为一种严重的食品安全和公共卫生问题。肉类食物作为人类的重要食物来源之一,其市场不断扩大,与此同时,肉类引起的食物过敏也逐渐增加。肉类过敏是IgE介导的Ⅰ型变态反应,发病速度快,可引发多种不同的临床症状,除了食物过敏的基本症状外,还可造成皮肤、呼吸系统疾病。此外,近年来还发现了一类新型肉类过敏疾病,与传统肉类过敏不同,其发病过程表现为延迟发作。本文综述了近年来肉类过敏的研究进展,介绍了几种肉类过敏性疾病及致敏机理,并综述了导致哺乳动物肉类过敏的过敏原以及肉类过敏评估方法。     

食物过敏原蛋白的定量检测方法

食物过敏现象的日益严重凸显食物过敏原蛋白定量检测的重要性。目前对食物过敏原蛋白进行定量检测的方法多是基于单个蛋白的间接测定。随着质谱分析方法的进步,定量蛋白质组学技术已开始并将广泛应用于复杂食品混合物中微量过敏原的直接定量检测。本文分别对基于单个蛋白和蛋白质组学的食物过敏原蛋白的定量测定方法进行综述。     

Reliable identification of grapevine rootstock varieties using RAPD PCR on woody samples

Since grapevine ( Vitis spp .) rootstock material is being traded increasingly as disbudded woody material a lack of distinctive morphological features on such material necessitates an alternative and reliable means of identification. Methods described here were developed for rapid and efficient extraction of DNA from woody samples rich in phenolic compounds and polysaccharides, and for subsequent identification of varieties by RAPD PCR. Using these methods, and with the application of only one selected RAPD primer, we were able to differentiate sixteen rootstock varieties, including the seven varieties most commonly used in Germany. Problems commonly encountered with reproducibility of RAPD patterns were avoided by choosing primers with a dinucleotide sequence and a high G/C content that allowed a rather high annealing temperature of 45°C. Methods described here should also be useful for other horticultural crops, especially those with woody tissues rich in phenolic compounds and polysaccharides.     

An internet compendium of analytical methods and spectroscopic information for monomers and additives used in food packaging plastics

An internet website (http://cpf.jrc.it/smt/) has been produced as a means of dissemination of methods of analysis and supporting spectroscopic information on monomers and additives used for food contact materials (principally packaging). The site which is aimed primarily at assisting food control laboratories in the European Union contains analytical information on monomers, starting substances and additives used in the manufacture of plastics materials. A searchable index is provided giving PM and CAS numbers for each of 255 substances. For each substance a data sheet gives regulatory information, chemical structures, physico-chemical information and background information on the use of the substance in particular plastics, and the food packaging applications. For monomers and starting substances (155 compounds) the infra-red and mass spectra are provided, and for additives (100 compounds); additionally proton NMR are available for about 50% of the entries. Where analytical methods have been developed for determining these substances as residual amounts in plastics or as trace amounts in food simulants these methods are also on the website. All information is provided in portable document file (PDF) format which means that high quality copies can be readily printed, using freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader software. The website will in future be maintained and up-dated by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) as new substances are authorized for use by the European Commission (DG-ENTR formerly DGIII). Where analytical laboratories (food control or other) require reference substances these can be obtained free-ofcharge from a reference collection housed at the JRC and maintained in conjunction with this website compendium.     

Chlorohydrins of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) in canned foods and ready-to-drink coffees from the Japanese market

BADGE.2HCl and BFDGE.2HCl were determined in 28 samples of ready-to-drink canned coffee and 18 samples of canned vegetables (10 corn, 5 tomatoes and 3 others), all from the Japanese market. HPLC was used as the principal analytical method and GCMS for confirmation of relevant LC fractions. BADGE.2HCl was found to be present in one canned coffee and five samples of corn, BFDGE.2HCl in four samples of canned tomatoes and in one canned corn. No sample was found which exceeded the 1mg/kg limit of the EU for the BADGE chlorohydrins. However the highest concentration was found for the sum of BFDGE.2HCl and BFDGE.HCl.H₂O at a level of 1.5mg/kg. A Beilstein test confirmed that all cans containing foods contaminated with BADGE.2HCl or BFDGE.2HCl had at lest one part coated with a PVC organosol.     

European priorities for research to support legislation in the area of food contact materials and articles

A strong science base is required to underpin the planning and decision-making process involved in determining future European community legislation on materials and articles in contact with food. Significant progress has been made in the past 5 years in European funded work in this area, with many developments contributing to a much better understanding of the migration process, and better and simpler approaches to food control. In this paper this progress is reviewed against previously identified work-areas (identified in 1994) and conclusions are reached about future requirements for R&D to support legislation on food contact materials and articles over the next 5 or so years.     

Aroma characterization of various apricot varieties using headspace–solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and gas chromatography–olfactometry

The characterization of the aromatic profile of several apricot cultivars with molecular tracers in order to obtain objective data concerning the aromatic quality of this fruit was undertaken using headspace–solid phase microextraction (HS–SPME). Six apricot cultivars were selected according to their organoleptic characteristics: Iranien, Orangered, Goldrich, Hargrand, Rouge du Roussillon and A4025. The aromatic intensity of these varieties measured by HS–SPME–Olfactometry were defined and classified according to the presence and the intensity of grassy, fruity and apricot like notes. In the six varieties, 23 common volatile compounds were identified by HS–SPME–GC–MS. Finally, 10 compounds, ethyl acetate, hexyl acetate, limonene, β-cyclocitral, γ-decalactone, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, linalool, β-ionone, menthone and (E)-hexen-2-al were recognized by HS–SPME–GC–O as responsible of the aromatic notes involved in apricot aroma and considered as molecular tracers of apricot aromatic quality which could be utilized to discriminate apricot varieties.     

Tests of potential functional barriers for laminated multilayer food packages. Part I: Low molecular weight permeants

The advent of the functional barrier concept in food packaging has brought with it a requirement for fast tests of permeation through potential barrier materials. In such tests it would be convenient for both foodstuffs and materials below the functional barrier (sub-barrier materials) to be represented by standard simulants. By means of inverse gas chromatography, liquid paraffin spiked with appropriate permeants was considered as a potential simulant of sub-barrier materials based on polypropylene (PP) or similar polyolefins. Experiments were performed to characterize the kinetics of the permeation of low molecular weight model permeants (octene, toluene and isopropanol) from liquid paraffin, through a surrogate potential functional barrier (25 μm-thick oriented PP) into the food simulants olive oil and 3% (w/v) acetic acid. These permeation results were interpreted in terms of three permeation kinetic models regarding the solubility of a particular model permeant in the post-barrier medium (i.e. the food simulant). The results obtained justify the development and evaluation of liquid sub-barrier simulants that would allow flexible yet rigorous testing of new laminated multilayer packaging materials.     

Textural Properties of Cold-set Gels Induced from Heat-denatured Whey Protein Isolates

A 9% whey protein (WP) isolate solution at pH 7.0 was heat-denatured at 80°C for 30 min. Size-exclusion HPLC showed that native WP formed soluble aggregates after heat-treatment. Additions of CaCl2 (10–40 mM), NaCl (50–400 mM) or glucono-delta-lactone (GDL, 0.4–2.0%, w/v) or hydrolysis by a protease from Bacillus licheniformis caused gelation of the denatured solution at 45°C. Textural parameters, hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness of the gels so formed changed markedly with concentration of added salts or pH by added GDL. Maximum gel hardness occurred at 200 mM NaCl or pH 4.7. Increasing CaCl2 concentration continuously increased gel hardness. Generally, GDL-induced gels were harder than salt-induced gels, and much harder than the protease-induced gel.     

Influence des ions sur le pouvoir hydratant de l'ure e: e tude sur peau de porc ex vivo

This study deals with the influence of ions (NaCl and MgSO4) in a W/O emulsion containing 10% urea. Moisturization kinetics are assessed by corneometry on pig skin ex vivo. The formula's influence on urea penetration is measured by infrared spectrometry with an ATR device and the stripping method. Corneometry and spectroscopy were chosen to record simultaneously the hydratation levels and urea localization into superficial cell layers. Urea crystallization after evaporation of emulsions and aqueous solutions is described. Results show that urea does not hydrate nor penetrate when applied to the skin through an aqueous gel. In a W/O emulsion, sodium chloride increases the ability of urea to moisturize without improving penetration. In vitro urea crystallization is disturbed by sodium chloride or magnesium sulphate for solutions and emulsions. This stabilization by ions is correlated with good moisturization values. The stabilization of urea in the solute state provided by ions increases its water epidermal binding capacity without enhancing penetration.
