Potato lectin activates basophils and mast cells of atopic subjects by its interaction with core chitobiose of cell-bound non-specific immunoglobulin E
S. N. Pramod, Y. P. Venkatesh and P. A. Mahesh (2007). This study addresses the role of potato lectin (STA) in activating mast cells and basophils through non-specific binding to IgE and FcεR receptors. It studies the effect of STA on atopic and non-atopic subjects, and finds that it may cause non-allergic hypersensitivity in some atopic individuals, despite not being a ‘true allergen’. Therefore, it suggests that lectins in foods like potatoes and tomatoes may contribute to symptoms of allergic reactions (e.g. asthma) in STA-sensitive individuals.
