Abstract
Immunoblot-coupled proteomics based on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), namely, immunoproteomics, has been used for comprehensive identification of food allergens, because it is a simple and inexpensive tool for rapid identification of several IgE-binding proteins. In this section, we describe our protocols for identification of food allergens using immunoproteomics and discuss a few technical points in detail.
