Mono-sensitisation to peanut component Ara h 6: a case series of five children and literature review

Utility 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 ...

Ara 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...

Hydrocarbon Toxicity: A Review of Literature and Case Series

Importance 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...
