Predictive model for the sensitising capacity of novel nutritional proteins

Projecttitel: Predictive model for the sensitising capacity of novel nutritional proteins
Projectnummer: LWV20.123
Missie: Kringlooplandbouw
MMIP:  A4 – Eiwitvoorziening voor humane consumptie uit (nieuwe) plantaardige bronnen

This project will develop cell-based models to predict immunogenic and allergenic properties of (novel) proteins and derived products. These models are intended to be used in guiding the replacement of animal proteins by sustainable alternatives, e.g. legumes, cereals, algae etc., re. safety of the product for the potentially allergic or immune-sensitive individual. The proposal contributes to the mission “Circular agriculture (A)” of the joint Top Sectors Knowledge and Innovation Agenda.
