Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Peanut allergy is a type-I hypersensitivity immune reaction mediated by the binding of peanut allergens to IgE-FcεRI complexes on mast cells and basophils and by their subsequent cellular degranulation. Of all major peanut allergens, Ara h 2 is considered the most anaphylactic. With few options but allergen avoidance, effective treatment of allergic patients is needed. Passive immunotherapy (herein called PIT) based on prophylactic administration of peanut-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) may present a promising treatment option for this under-served disease.
