Abstract: | A procedure for the native two-dimensional electrophoresis of peanut and hazelnut proteins is described. Proteins were solubilised after acetone treatment using a combination of 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) and tetramethylene sulphone. These extracts were analysed by a combination of isoelectric focusing in the presence of lactose in immobilized pH gradients followed by charge shift electrophoresis. Immunoblot analysis, using sera from nut allergic patients, allowed the identification of a peanut and hazelnut allergen with identical isoelectric point and apparent molecular mass. These proteins were recovered from duplicate gels using a mixture of formic acid, acetonitrile (ACN) and isopropanol. The molecular masses for both proteins, determined by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), were 4826 Da. |
