From: Clinico-Immunological Analysis of Eggplant (Solanum melongena) Allergy Indicates Preponderance of Allergens in the Peel

Figure 4

Digestibility of proteins in eggplant peel extract in simulated gastric fluid as monitored by SDS-PAGE analysis (12%, reducing; silver staining). (a), Untreated eggplant peel extract shown in lane 1; (b), SGF-treated eggplant peel extract: lane 1, 0 minutes; lane 2, 1 minute; lane 3, 10 minutes; lane 4, 30 minutes; lane 5, 60 minutes; lane 6, 120 minutes. Protein bands labeled a-e represent the persistent parent proteins or protein fragments in SGF digestion as shown in Figure 5; (c), SGF-treated BSA, a protein that is considered to have lesser-allergenic potential; M, molecular weight markers.
