From: Towards reducing the immunogenic potential of wheat flour: omega gliadins encoded by the D genome of hexaploid wheat may also harbor epitopes for the serious food allergy WDEIA

Sequence comparison of omega-5 gliadins encoded by the B and D genomes in Chinese Spring with the full-length omega-5 gliadin BAE20328. N- and C-terminal sequences are shown in black and blue boxes, respectively. Within each protein sequence, the dominant WDEIA epitopes QQFPQQQ and QQIPQQQ are shown in red and blue, respectively. Lines above the protein sequence highlight peptides unique to omega-D4 that were identified by MS/MS in protein spots from DH20 reacting with sera from WDEIA patients. Red lines highlight peptides identified in the more basic protein while blue lines highlight peptides identified in the more acidic protein. MS/MS data are shown in Additional file 1
