Peanut epitope 1 - Arah2 / Arah6

Peanut Allergy

Allergies to peanuts are a major public health concern and life threatening. 1-2% of the population suffers from this allergy. Common symptoms include acute allergic rash, acute vomiting, laryngeal oedema, hypotension, and dysrhythmia. The major allergy inducing proteins in peanuts are generally considered to be Ara h 1 and Ara h 3 that are members of the cupin superfamily of proteins.
