Grant agreement ID: AIR20970

Project closed

Start date 1 June 1994

End date 31 May 1997

Funded under

• Specific research and technological development and demonstration programme (EEC) in the field of agriculture and agro-industry, including fisheries, 1990-1994

Total cost € 1 796 451,00

EU contribution € 1 060 225,00

Coordinated by

BIBRA Toxicology International
United Kingdom

Objective

This project is aimed at identifying and sequencing peptides in food proteins that cause allergies in human by provoking production of particular antibodies. The objective is to develop and validate analytical methodology that will enable the development of allergen-free foods. In addition, the development of methods for the definition of allergenic responses is proposed.
