IgE Cross-Reactivity of Cashew Nut Allergens

Conclusions: Results demonstrate the in vitro presence of IgE cross-sensitisation in children towards multiple Anacardiaceae species. In this study, putative novel allergens were identified in cashew, pistachio, and pink peppercorn, which may pose factors that underlie the observed cross-sensitivity to these species. The clinical relevance of this widespread cross-sensitisation is unknown.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
