José Roberto Aparecido dos Santos-Pinto, PhD, Lucilene Delazari dos Santos, PhD, Helen Andrade Arcuri, PhD, Anally Ribeiro da Silva Menegasso, MSc, Paloma Napoleão Pêgo, MSc, Keity Souza Santos, PhD, Fábio Morato Castro, MD, PhD, Jorge Elias Kalil, MD, PhD, Salvatore Giovanni De-Simone, PhD, Mario Sergio Palma, PhD  Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  Volume 135, Issue 1, Pages e8 (January 2015) DOI: /j.jaci Copyright © 2014 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 B-cell linear epitopes mapping along the primary sequence of the P paulista venom antigen-5 detected in the SPOT synthesis assay with the sera of patients who were sensitive to the venom of the wasp P paulista. IgG-reactive peptides (A); IgE-reactive peptides (B); the smallest peptide sequence corresponding to the B-cell linear epitope of antigen-5 that is immunoreactive to human IgE (C); P paulista venom antigen-5 primary sequence (D) showing regions of IgG reactivity (black bars), IgE reactivity (grey bars), and the identification of the smallest peptide sequence corresponding to the B-cell linear epitope that was immunoreactive to human IgE.

3 Fig 2 Three-dimensional mapping of B-cell linear epitopes of antigen-5 that were reactive to human IgG shown in yellow: epitope 1 (A), epitope 2 (B), epitope 3 (C), epitope 4 (D), epitope 5 (E), epitope 6 (F), epitope 7 (G), epitope 8 (H), and epitope 9 (I); epitope 7 is also reactive to human IgE. The elements of secondary structures shown in blue correspond to helices; those shown in red and green correspond to beta-sheets and loops, respectively; meanwhile, the regions represented in yellow correspond to the spatial location of the linear epitopes for human IgG and/or IgE.

7 Fig E4 Alignment of the sequences of known antigen-5 homologs found in the venoms of different species of social wasps: POLPI-Polybia paulista; POLEX-Polistes exclamans; POLAN-Polistes annularis; POLFU-Polistes fuscatus; POLGA-Polistes gallicus; POLDO-Polistes dominula; VESVU-Vespula vulgaris; VESGE-Vespula germanica; VESMC-Vespula maculifrons; VESPE-Vespula pensylvanica; VESSQ-Vespula squamosa. The conserved B-cell epitopes identified in P paulista antigen-5 are conserved in all these sequences and are shown inside the rectangles indicating epitopes 1 to 9.

8 Fig E5 Biological activities assay for the peptide sequences corresponding to B-cell linear epitopes of antigen-5 immunoreactive to human IgE (epitope 7) and immunoreactive to human IgG (epitopes 1 to 9). Degranulation activity in rat peritoneal mast cells (A); the activity was determined by measuring the release of the granule marker, β-D-glucosaminidase, which co-localizes with histamine. The values for β-D-glucosaminidase released in the medium were expressed in the percentage of total enzyme activity. Hemolytic activity in washed rat red blood cells (B); the absorbance measured at 540 nm from lysed washed rat red blood cells in presence of 1% (v/v) Triton X-100 (Sigma, St Louis, Mo) was considered as 100%. Chemotaxis of polymorphonucleated leukocytes (C). The results were compared with the activities measured for the standard mast cell degranulating and hemolytic activity peptide melittin and compared with the activities measured for the standard chemotactic activity peptide protonectin 1-6. Data are represented as means ± SDs (n = 5). Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , e8DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2014 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions
