Brief description Peanut allergy affects ~2% of the population and peanuts are the major cause of fatal food-induced anaphylaxis. Peanut allergy usually appears in infancy and persists indefinitely. At present, unlike grass pollen allergy, there is no preventative treatment. Using blood cells from peanut-allergic patients, we will identify the components of major peanut allergens to use in _allergy shots� to develop tolerance on peanut exposure without risking anaphylaxis.
