Foodstuffs - Detection of food allergens by immunological methods - Part 1: General considerations
This document provides an overall framework covering qualitative and quantitative methods for the determination of food allergens and allergenic ingredients using antibody-based methods in foods. This document specifies general guidelines and performance criteria for antibody-based methods for the detection and quantification of proteins that serve as markers for the presence of allergy provoking foods or food ingredients. Other methods than those described can also detect and identify the proteins. Guidelines, minimum requirements and performance criteria laid down in this document are intended to ensure that reproducible results are obtained by different analysts in private and/or official control laboratories or when conducting onsite food testing.
This document is intended to be used in addition to EN 15842.
NOTE This document could also be applicable to other sample types where the same principles for method validation and verification would apply.
Lebensmittel - Nachweis von Lebensmittelallergenen mit immunologischen Verfahren - Teil 1: Allgemeine Betrachtungen
Dieses Dokument stellt einen Gesamtrahmen für die qualitativen und quantitativen Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Lebensmittelallergenen und allergenen Inhaltsstoffen unter Anwendung von auf Antikörpern basierenden Verfahren in Lebensmitteln zur Verfügung. Dieses Dokument legt die allgemeinen Leitlinien und Leistungskriterien für auf Antikörpern basierende Verfahren zum Nachweis und zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Proteinen fest, die als Marker für das Vorliegen von allergieauslösenden Lebensmitteln oder Lebensmittelzutaten dienen. Auch mit anderen als den beschriebenen Verfahren können die Proteine nachgewiesen und identifiziert werden. Die in diesem Dokument angeführten Leitlinien, Mindestanforderungen und Leistungskriterien sind dafür vorgesehen, sicherzustellen, dass von verschiedenen Analytikern in privaten und/oder offiziellen Kontrolllaboratorien oder bei der Durchführung von Vor-Ort-Lebensmittelanalysen reproduzierbare Ergebnisse erhalten werden.
Dieses Dokument ist für die Verwendung zusätzlich zu EN 15842 vorgesehen.
ANMERKUNG Dieses Dokument könnte auch auf andere Probentypen anwendbar sein, bei denen dieselben Grundsätze für die Verfahrensvalidierung und -überprüfung gelten würden.

Introduction
A specific protein or group of proteins or peptides deriving from these proteins can serve as a marker
for the presence of food or food ingredients provoking allergic reactions. This document describes the
procedure to qualitatively detect and/or quantitate protein-derived analytes or proteins/peptides or
proteinaceous entities as a marker for potentially allergenic ingredients or constituents by analysing
the protein extracted from the sample under test. Appropriate procedures for extraction of the protein
are included in each method. The focus of this document is on antibody-based methods where a protein
or group of proteins or peptides (deriving from these proteins) representative for the allergen source is
qualitatively or quantitatively determined.
For the use of this document the term:
— ‘shall’ indicates a requirement;
— ‘should’ indicates a recommendation;
— ‘may’ indicates a permission; and
— ‘can’ indicates a possibility and/or a capability.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1 General terms
3.1.1
denaturation of proteins
treatment (whether thermal, chemical, enzymatic or other) that affects the conformation of proteins
(i.e. the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure) to such an extent that only the primary structure
or parts thereof remain (either intact, fragmented or hydrolysed)
Note 1 to entry: The denaturation can modify functional, enzymatic or antigenic properties of the protein.
3.1.2
cross-linkage of proteins
chemical reaction and/or physical interaction between proteins
Note 1 to entry: Cross-linkage can modify extractability of a protein within a food matrix.
3.2 Antibody-related terms
3.2.1
antibody
protein (immunoglobulin) produced and secreted by B lymphocytes in vertebrates in response to a
molecule recognised as foreign (antigen)
Note 1 to entry: The antibody is capable of binding to that specific antigen or related peptide structures e.g.
epitopes.
Note 2 to entry: The antigen induces an immune response.
[SOURCE: EN ISO 21572:2013, 3.2.1, modified — informative part of definition is described in Note 1 to
entry and Note 2 to entry was added]
3.2.2
antigen
substance recognised by an antibody (namely the substance that is recognised as ‘foreign’ by the
immune system and elicits an immune response)
Note 1 to entry: The antigen reacts in vivo and in vitro specifically with the generated antibodies.
Note 2 to entry: The antigen induces an immune response.
3.2.3
allergen
antigen that induces an immunoglobulin-E mediated allergic reaction (except gluten)

[SOURCE: EN ISO 21572:2013, 3.2.3]
3.2.5
monoclonal antibody
antibody produced from a single hybridoma clone and directed to a single epitope on the antigen
Note 1 to entry: Antibodies produced from a B-cell clone with identical physical, biochemical and
immunological properties
3.2.6
polyclonal antibodies
antibodies produced by several B cells that recognise different epitopes of the same antigen
3.2.7
specificity of an antibody
ability of an antibody to specifically bind to a particular antigen epitope and not to other similar

Note 1 to entry: Conjugates of antibodies/proteins with fluorochromes, coloured particles, gold nanoparticles,
radio-labelled substances, or enzymes are often used in immunoassays.
Note 2 to entry: A conjugate is an antibody or substance (e.g. Avidin) that is linked to a detector moiety such as
an enzyme, fluorochrome, radioactive or solid particle, allowing the production of a detectable signal. Enzyme-
linked conjugates require the addition of specific substrates to form measurable (e.g. coloured) reaction products.

4 General requirements for laboratories
4.1 Principle
The target analyte/antigen (proteinaceous in nature) is extracted from a sample according to a matrix-
specific procedure or a general method, and a specific monoclonal or polyclonal antibody is used to
qualitatively detect or quantitatively measure the concentration of the target analyte in the sample.
4.2 Apparatus and equipment
The analyst should use maintained equipment suitable for the method employed, (standard laboratory
equipment and other items as described in the specific methods) and calibration systems for this
equipment should be available and routinely performed.
4.3 Material and reagents
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and onl
