T. Adachi et al., SCREENING OF RICE STRAINS DEFICIENT IN 16-KDA ALLERGENIC PROTEIN, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(7), 1995, pp. 1377-1378
Most rice contains the 16-kDa allergenic protein belonging to the alph
a-amylase/trypsin inhibitor family. The amount of this protein in more
than 150 rice strains,vas examined by using the antibody raised again
st the 16-kDa allergenic protein. While all of Japanese cultivars test
ed contained nearly same amount of the 16-kDa allergen, some strains i
n other Asian Countries contained little or none of this protein.
