Description:

Soy is considered to be among the 8 major food allergens, which account for 90% of all the food allergies in the world. Soy allergies are uncommon among most adults; however, about 1% of adults who have tried soy products are allergic. The majority of soy allergy sufferers are infants and small children. Although many eventually outgrow their allergy, soy allergenicity research and the potential information that Glycinin may provide is very important to these sufferers.

Glycinin is a major allergen within soy and is a soluble glycoprotein that exists in a homo-hexameric form. The allergenic properties of Glycinin are primarily the result of its acidic subunits, which are of considerable research interest. Because there is still so much to be discovered about soybean allergenicity, Glycinin can be very useful in allergenicity research.

Glycinin standards purchased from EPL Bio Analytical Services are isolated directly from soy. Glycinin standards are 90+% pure and require temperatures in excess of 90°C for denaturation.

Potential Research Uses:

• Develop, validate, and manufacture soy allergen test kits
• Immunoreactivity research
• Development of methods to reduce soy allergenicity
