General Information

Abstract

This European Standard provides the overall framework of qualitative and quantitative methods for the determination of allergens and allergenic ingredients in foodstuffs using antibody-based methods. This European Standard specifies general guidelines and performance criteria for antibody-based methods for the detection and quantification of proteins that serve as a marker for the presence of allergy provoking foods or food ingredients. Other methods than those described may also detect and identify the proteins. Guidelines, minimum requirements and performance criteria laid down in the European Standard are intended to ensure that comparable and reproducible results are obtained in different laboratories. This European Standard has been established for food matrices.

3.1 General terms 3.1.1 denaturation of proteins treatment (thermal or chemical), which destroys or modifies the secondary and/or tertiary structure of a protein NOTE The denaturation may modify functional, enzymatic or antigenic properties of the protein. 3.2 Terms relative to antibodies 3.2.1 antibody protein (immunoglobulin) produced and secreted by B lymphocytes in response to a molecule recognised as foreign (antigen) [adapted from EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] NOTE 1 The antibody is capable of binding to that specific antigen. NOTE 2 Antibodies recognise specific areas in the antigen called epitopes. 3.2.2 antigen substance that is recognised as foreign by the immune system and elicits an immune response SIST EN 15633-1:2009

NOTE 2 The antigen elicits an immune response to that antigen. 3.2.3 allergen antigen with special properties to induce an allergic reaction 3.2.4 clone population of identical cells derived from a single cell line [EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] 3.2.5 cross-reactivity binding of the antibody to substances other than the analyte of primary interest [EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] NOTE 1 The ability of antibodies to bind to similar epitopes present on different antigens. NOTE 2 The reaction of an antibody with another antigen than those used for immunisation. 3.2.6 monoclonal antibody antibody produced from a single hybridoma clone and directed to a single antigen determinant [EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] NOTE Antibodies produced from a B-cell clone with identical physical, biochemical and immunological properties. 3.2.7 polyclonal antibodies antibodies produced by several clones of lymphocytes [EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] NOTE Antibodies produced by several B-cells that recognise different epitopes in the same antigen. 3.2.8 specificity of an antibody ability of an antibody to specifically bind to an antigen determinant and not to other similar structures on that or other antigens [EN ISO 21572:2004] [1] NOTE The ability of antibodies to recognise and distinguish between related structures. 3.2.9 epitope molecular structure of an antigen specifically recognised by antibodies or receptors on cells SIST EN 15633-1:2009
