Data from an Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) peanut allergy pilot study will be presented in an oral abstract at the upcoming European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) annual meeting in Geneva, Switzerland on June 16-20, 2012:
Functional but not quantitative peanut-specific IgE antibodies as diagnostic marker for peanut allergy. (Mohamed Shamji, PhD, Imperial College London)
The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of a peanut-specific IgE antibody functional assay (IgE-FAB peanut) in detecting peanut allergy, as opposed to asymptomatic peanut sensitivity.
