Diagnostic Value of Antigen-Specific Immunoglobulin E Immunoassays against Ara h 2 and Ara h 8 Peanut Components in Child Food Allergy.
BACKGROUND Peanut allergy is one of the most severe food allergies in children. The diagnostic gold standard is the oral food challenge (OFC). However, OFC has inherent risks and is time consuming. The measurement of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to peanut components in blood detects peanut sensitization, but the decision point predicting allergy is still unclear. The aim of this study was t...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Specific IgE to Peanut and Ara h 2 in Korean Children with Peanut Allergy
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to establish the diagnostic decision point (DDP) of peanut specific IgE (sIgE) for predicting the outcome of oral food challenge (OFC). We also evaluated the usefulness of sIgE to peanut components (Ara h 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9) in diagnosing peanut allergy. METHODS Korean children aged over 12 months with a suspected peanut allergy were enrolled. Diagnosis of...
متن کاملImportance of Ara h 6 in peanut allergy diagnosis
Results Twenty-two children (median age: 6.63 y.o.; IQR: 5.22-10.12) were classified as allergic in the basis of at least two convincing clinical reactions upon ingestion of PNT in the last two years. Sixty-nine children (median age: 8.01 y.o.; IQR: 6.01-11.27) were classified as tolerant on the basis of regular consumption of PNT. Positive SPT with commercial PNT extract was found in 86% of th...
متن کاملUtility of Specific IgE to Ara h 2 in Italian Allergic and Tolerant Children Sensitized to Peanut
Emerging data suggest that measurement of serum IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and more accurate than IgE to whole peanut to predict peanut allergy. Not all studies have used prospective samples, multiple components and oral challenges. Currently, there are no data on this topic involving Italian children. 32 patients (23 males; median age 9 years) with reported history for ...
متن کاملAra h 6 complements Ara h 2 as an important marker for IgE reactivity to peanut
The similarities of two major peanut allergens, Ara h 2 and Ara h 6, in molecular size, amino acid sequence, and structure have made it difficult to obtain natural Ara h 6 free of Ara h 2. The objectives of this study were to purify natural Ara h 6 that is essentially free of Ara h 2 and to compare its IgE reactivity and potency in histamine release assays to Ara h 2. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-pol...
