Prediction of peanut allergy in adolescence by early childhood storage protein-specific IgE signatures: The BAMSE population-based birth cohort

One of the most frequent and severe forms of food allergy is caused by peanuts.1 IgE reactivity to peanut storage proteins, in particular to Arachis hypogaea (Ara h) 2, is associated with systemic reactions.2 However, in some regions, the lipid transfer protein Ara h 9 is an important allergen molecule, whereas in birch endemic areas, the pathogenesis-related protein family 10 protein Ara h 8 is a more common cross-reactive component.3
