Occurrence of IgE Antibody-Recognizing N-Linked Glycan Moiety of a Soybean Allergen, Gly m Bd 28K

The specific IgE antibodies recognizing the N-linked glycan moieties of Gly m Bd 28K and other glycoproteins with homologous glycan moieties occur in the sera of soybean-sensitive patients. It was indicated that the N-linked glycan moieties such as that of Gly m Bd 28K may be one of the common IgE-reactive determinants distributed in various plant food proteins.
