Maternal transfer of the most potent peanut allergen Ara h 2 into human breast milk in a German cohort
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Peanut allergy is known to be one of the most severe food allergies. The aim of our breast milk study was to investigate the transfer of the most potent peanut allergen Ara h 2 into human breast milk in a German cohort. Therefore, the time courses of appearance after ingestion, the potential risk of sensitization to peanuts via breast milk in Germany and, if possible, the way Ara h 2 will be processed in vivo after secretion into breast milk was studied.

Resistance to proteolytic enzymes and heat is thought to be a prerequisite property of food allergens. Allergens from peanut (Arachis hypogaea) are the most frequent cause of fatal food allergic reactions. The allergenic 2S albumin Ara h 2 and the homologous minor allergen Ara h 6 were studied at the molecular level with regard to allergenic potency of native and protease-treated allergen. A hi...

In order to help allergic patients manage often severe symptoms, food manufacturers are required to list allergens on labels whereas researchers are working to improve diagnostics and develop effective immunotherapies. Existing tools using generic immunoassays do not provide precise identification or quantification of specific food allergens. Our goal was to develop an accurate, sensitive and h...
