Development of a Novel Strategy to Isolate Lipophilic Allergens (Oleosins) from Peanuts
BACKGROUND Peanut allergy is one of the most severe class I food allergies with increasing prevalence. Especially lipophilic allergens, such as oleosins, were found to be associated with severe symptoms, but are usually underrepresented in diagnostic extracts. Therefore, this study focused on isolation, molecular characterization and assessment of the allergenicity of peanut oleosins. METHODS...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for peanut allergy.
Peanut allergy is one of the commonest food hypersensitivities causing fatal or near-fatal reactions. There is, currently, no preventive treatment and the incidence of severe allergic reactions during peanut desensitisation has limited its clinical use. Anti-immunoglobulin E therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing peanut-induced reactions but it does not result in long-term toleran...
متن کاملBenefits and limitations of molecular diagnostics in peanut allergy
Allergic reactions to peanut (Arachis hypogaea, Ara h) are caused by immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated sensitizations to various proteins. The stability and relative proportion of these proteins in peanut determine the risk of hazardous reactions. Hazardous sensitization to seed storage proteins [S2 albumins (Ara h 2, 6 and 7) > other seed storage proteins (Ara 1 and 3) > oleosins (Ara h 10 and 1...
متن کاملSignificance of Peanut Allergy
The prevalence of peanut allergy (PA) in Africa is unknown but anecdotal reports suggest the prevalence to be lower than that experienced in developed countries, which report a prevalence of approximately 1.5%. Countries in Africa and Asia, as well as Israel, where the early consumption of high-dose peanut protein is routinely practised, have enjoyed a low prevalence of peanut allergy, e.g. 0.0...
متن کاملCross-Reactivity of Peanut Allergens
Peanut seeds are currently widely used as source of human food ingredients in the United States of America and in European countries due to their high quality protein and oil content. This article describes the classification and molecular biology of peanut seed allergens with particular reference to their cross-reactivities. Currently, the IUIS allergen nomenclature subcommittee accepts 12 pea...
