Food Flour Proteins with Defined Allergen Composition for Use as Reference Materials.

Allergen measurements are widely used for validation of molecular allergy diagnostics and allergy therapeutics. However, few standardized food allergen reference materials have been developed. While NIST and MoniQA food standards are characterized extensively for biochemical and nutritional composition, data on allergen content are lacking. The aim was to produce standardized food-flour-proteins with defined allergen content that could serve as reference materials for allergy diagnostics or therapeutics.
