As one of the most important cereals, wheat (Triticum aestivum) has high nutritional value and is widely cultivated in China. However, wheat can cause severe allergic reactions, and a growing number of people are developing allergies to Chinese wheat. Low molecular weight glutenin (LMW-GS), an important allergen in susceptible populations, is responsible for celiac disease and wheat contacts dermatitis. In this study, LMW-GS was highly purified from Chinese wheat (Xiaoyan 6) and further identified and characterized. In addition, 8 peptides were predicted efficiently by 5 immunological tools, among which 5 peptides showed significant immunoglobulin E binding abilities. Two specific epitopes were found to be in the non-conserved region of the amino acid sequence of LMW-GS, which was speculated to be the specific epitope of Chinese wheat. This systematic research of LMW-GS may provide new insights into the prevention of wheat allergy and development of hypoallergenic wheat products.
