Diagnosis in patients sensitised to multiple pollens is difficult due to the relationship between pollen and food allergens. Misdiagnosis is often a cause for unsuccessful specific immunotherapy. Wheat is a potent allergen source and is one of the causes of baker's asthma, food and pollen allergy. Recently, we have performed a study on pollen sensitisation in our area, where cereal crops are very important. The clinical data from 19718 patients reviewed showed that grass pollen was the main source of clinical symptoms (6369 patients, 32.30% of asthmatics). However, wheat and cereal crop pollen showed very low prevalence. On the other hand, patients with wheat flour allergy after ingestion and/or with baker's asthma were not sensitised to wheat pollen, despite it containing some common allergens. In the same way, all our asthmatic bakers (135 patients) tolerated the ingestion of bread. Here we try to explain the reason for these surprising observations.

Luis GomezMany plant proteins, particularly those found in foods and pollen, are known to act as sensitizing agents in humans upon repeated exposure. Among the cereal flour proteins involved in asthmatic reactions, those members of the α-amylase inhibitor family which are glycosylated, polypeptides BMAI-1, BTAI-CMb*, and WTAI-CM16* are particularly reactive both in vivo and in vitro. We show here that these major glycoprotein allergens carry a single asparagine-linked complex glycan that contains both β1←2 xylose and α1←3 fucose. Evidence is presented that the xylosyl residue and, to a lesser extent, the fucosyl residue are key IgE-binding epitopes and largely responsible for the allergenicity of these and unrelated proteins from plants and insects. Our results suggest that the involvement of xylose- and fucose-containing complex glycans in allergenic responses may have been underestimated previously; these glycans provide a structural basis to help explain the cross-reactivities often observed between pollen, vegetable food, and insect allergens.
