[HTML][HTML] Identification of unique peanut and soy allergens in sera adsorbed with cross-reacting antibodies
PA Eigenmann, AW Burks, GA Bannon… - Journal of Allergy and …, 1996 - Elsevier
Background: Soybean and peanut are members of the legume family and share several
common antigenic fractions. Patients allergic to one of these foods have serum IgE
antibodies that immunologically cross-react with other legumes. Nevertheless, ingestion of
other legumes generally does not induce an allergic reaction, suggesting that cross-reacting
antibodies are not clinically relevant. Objective: This study was designed to identify unique
peanut or soybean antigenic fractions, with sera adsorbed to remove cross-reacting …
