Tropomyosin (TM) is an important allergen in molluscans. However, there was a lack of information about TM as an allergen in oysters. TM was purified and identified from (ATM), and its primary sequence was cloned and encoded with 284 amino acids (AAs). Chemical denaturants were used to destroy the structure to confirm that linear epitopes played a major role in the immunoglobulin E-binding capacity of ATM. Subsequently, nine linear epitopes were identified using a serological test. The peptide with AA was regarded as the key epitope because it could be recognized strongly by most sera of oyster-sensitive individuals in comparison to other epitope peptides. Finally, the epitopes and the primary sequence of TM a... More
