Peanut hypersensitivity in children

Pediatric Pulmonology, 1999
Peanut is the major allergen in the United States. It is increasing in importance in Europe and has become the principal food allergen affecting children over the age of three years, once hypersensitivity to eggs has resolved. We report 132 pediatric cases of peanut hypersensitivity, confirmed by food challenge.

Isolation, Identification, and Characterization of Clones Encoding Antigens Responsible for Peanut Hypersensitivity

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1995
Peanut allergy is a significant health problem because of the frequency, the potential severity, and the chronicity of the allergic sensitivity. Serum IgE from patients with documented peanut hypersensitivity reactions and a peanut cDNA expression library were used to identify clones that encode peanut allergens.

Oral Administration of IL-12 Suppresses Anaphylactic Reactions in a Murine Model of Peanut Hypersensitivity

Clinical Immunology, 2001
There is no satisfactory therapeutic intervention for peanut allergy, which accounts for most life-threatening food allergic reactions. Since IL-12 has been found to inhibit allergic airway responses in a mouse model of asthma and to cure Th2 cytokine-mediated murine schistosomiasis, we hypothesized that IL-12 treatment might also inhibit peanut ...

Type I Hypersensitivity in an Asthmatic Child Allergic to Peanuts: Was Soy Lecithin to Blame?

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2008
Background: Soy lecithin is widely used as an emulsifier, not only in topical skin care products but also in various drugs administered either topically, orally, or intravenously or by inhalation. Patients strongly allergic to soy and/or peanuts can develop an anaphylactic reaction when exposed to soy lecithin.

CD4⁺CD25⁺ T cells regulate the intensity of hypersensitivity responses to peanut, but are not decisive in the induction of oral sensitization

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2007
SummaryBackground Naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in the maintenance of self‐tolerance and it has been suggested that these Tregs may also be involved in preventing allergic disease.Objective The precise role of CD4+CD25+ T cells in the regulation of allergic responses to mucosal antigens ...

What should we know about hypersensitivity to peanuts in topical preparations.

Acta dermatovenerologica Croatica : ADC, 2007
The rising prevalence of food allergies poses an increasingly important clinical problem.Peanut is one of the most potent allergens, and allergic reactions to peanuts may even be fatal.A great proportion of hypersensitive individuals manifest allergic reaction on their first exposure to peanut containing food, pointing to pre-existing sensitization ...

Mapping and Mutational Analysis of the IgE‐Binding Epitopes on Ara h 1, a Legume Vicilin Protein and a Major Allergen in Peanut Hypersensitivity

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1997
Peanut allergy is a significant health problem because of the prevelance and potential severity of the allergic reaction. Serum IgE from patients with documented peanut hypersensitivity reactions and overlapping peptides were used to identify the IgE‐binding epitopes on the major peanut allergen, Ara h 1.
