Abstract Background: IgE reactivity to fish allergens in atopic dogs, which are used as models for food allergy, has not been elucidated to date. We investigated IgE reactivity to crude extracts and purified Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) allergens in atopic dogs to identify the allergenic proteins of cod.Methods: Specific IgE to crude cod extracts in the sera of 179 atopic dogs, including 27 dogs with cod allergy, were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The allergens of crude cod extracts were analyzed by ELISA, immunoblotting, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). IgE reactivity to parvalbumin, collagen, and tropomyosin was evaluated using the sera of atopic dogs that were positive for specific IgE to crude cod extracts.Results: Specific IgE to crude cod extracts were present in 36 (20%) of the 179 atopic dogs and 12 (44%) of the 27 dogs with cod allergy. In allergen component analysis, IgE reactivity to tropomyosin and enolase was observed in the sera of dogs with cod allergy. Among the 36 dogs with IgE reactivity to crude cod extracts, 9 (25%), 14 (39%), and 18 (50%) dogs had specific IgE to parvalbumin, collagen, and tropomyosin, respectively.Conclusions: The dogs exhibited IgE reactivity to the cod allergens which observed in humans, providing support for the use of atopic dogs with fish allergy as a model for fish allergy in humans.

Abstract Background IgE reactivity to fish allergens in atopic dogs, which are used as models for food allergy, has not been elucidated to date. We investigated IgE reactivity to crude and purified Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) allergens in atopic dogs to identify the allergenic components of cod. Methods Specific IgE to crude cod allergens in the sera of 179 atopic dogs, including 27 dogs with cod allergy, were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The allergenic components of crude cod antigen were analyzed by ELISA, immunoblotting, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). IgE reactivity to parvalbumin, collagen, and tropomyosin was evaluated using the sera of atopic dogs that were positive for specific IgE to crude cod allergens. Results Specific IgE to crude cod allergens were present in 36 (20%) of the 179 atopic dogs and 12 (44%) of the 27 dogs with cod allergy.

Calcium binding peptides from Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) bone have attracted attention due to their potential effects on bone health. In this study, calcium binding peptides (CBP) were prepared from Pacific cod bone by trypsin and neutral protease. Ultraviolet spectra, circular dichroism (CD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that carboxyl and amino groups in CBP could bind to Ca2+, and form the peptide-calcium complex (CBP-Ca). Single-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) experiments indicated that the intestinal calcium absorption was significantly enhanced (p < 0.01) in CBP-Ca treated Wistar rats. The anti-osteoporosis activity of CBP-Ca was investigated in the ovariectomized (OVX) Wistar rat model. The administration of CBP-Ca significantly (p < 0.01) improved the calcium bioavailability, trabecular bone structure, bone biomechanical properties, bone mineral density, and bone mineralization degree. CBP-Ca notably (p < 0.01) increased serum calcium, however, it remarkably (p < 0.01) reduced the levels of osteocalcin (OCN), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b), and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) in serum. Results suggested that the cod bone derived CBP could bind with calcium, improve the intestinal calcium absorption, calcium bioavailability, and serum calcium, then reduce the bone turnover rate, and thus ameliorate osteoporosis.
