PG - 8901-8912 LID - 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c03324 [doi] AB - The unique characteristics of camelid heavy-chain only antibody (HCAb) derived nanobodies (Nbs) have facilitated their employment as tools for research and application in extensive fields including food safety inspection, diagnosis and therapy of diseases, etc., to develop immune detecting techniques or alternative candidates of conventional antibodies as diagnostic and therapeutic reagents. The wide application in the fields of food allergen inspection and immunotherapy has not been addressed as not much results published in the literature. The robust properties and straightforward selecting strategy of Nbs impel the advantageous employment compared with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to establish immunoassay and serve as blocking antibodies to compete immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding epitopes on food allergens. More and more efforts have been invested to develop specific Nbs against food allergen proteins, such as macadamia allergen of Mac i 1, peanut allergen of Ara h 3, and lupine allergen of Lup an 1, which demonstrated the potential of Nbs for research and application in food allergen surveillance. Meanwhile, the paratopes of Nbs preferably targeting the unique epitopes of food allergens can provide more possibilities to serve as blocking antibodies to shield IgE binding epitopes for food allergy immunotherapy. Regardless, the research and application of Nbs in the field of food allergen and allergic reactions are expected to attract dramatic focus and produce promising research outputs.
