Science - Genetics
German term or phrase: Bereiche
Theoretisch kann jedes Protein eine allergische Reaktion auslösen, praktisch passiert dies aber nur, wenn bestimmte Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
Das Protein muss in hohen Anteilen in der Nahrung vorkommen, es muss im Magen-Darm-Trakt relativ lange stabil bleiben, damit zumindest einige Bereiche intakt durch die Darmschleimhaut in den Blutkreislauf gelangen, und es muss Bestandteile haben, welche die Produktion von speziellen Antikörpern, den IgE-Antikörpern, auslösen.

I don't understand how "Bereiche" can pass through the intestinal mucosa. Can anybody explain?

Parts of proteins may pass through the intestinal mucosa and get absorbed into the blood.

agree  KARIN ISBELL: Meiner Meinung nach die beste Lösung!

  -> Danke, Karin!
agree  Cetacea: I guess the author chose "Bereiche" because of their comparatively big size, but "parts" is a much better term IMHO.

epitope, possibly antigenic epitope


Explanation:
Specific regions of proteins are called epitopes. Epitopes can comprise 5 or more consecutive amino acids or several amino acids that are not necessarily close together on the polypeptide chain but form a particular structure in the 3-dimensional protein molecule. Monospecific antibodies (as in monoclonal antibodies) recognize a single, unique epitope of a protein. For native proteins, antibodies usually recognize epitopes of proteins that are exposed or accessible. Monospecific antibodies can recognize proteins that have identical or similar epitopes (e.g., receptor proteins, ABC transporters). There is more information in the Internet under "antigenic epitope".
