    Abstract

    Food allergy to wheat flour is a pathology that is found less frequently than coeliac disease or respiratory allergy to flour; it seems however to be a constant argument. Our study used a panel of 28 patients diagnosed with food allergy to wheat flour. Our objective was to characterise the reactivity of type IgE and IgG antibodies of these patients with regard to the different classes of proteins of wheat flour so as to establish an antigenic profile of the allergens of wheat in the framework of food allergy to flour. Our results show the implication of different classes of wheat proteins and notably the major reserve proteins (gliadins and glutens) in food allergy.
