From the present study, we conclude that peanuts contain multiple allergens, of which six can be described as major allergens, Ara h2 included. In our population Ara h1 is not a major allergen. The recognition of peanut proteins by immunoglobulins is more diverse in PA individuals compared with NA individuals which, however, is not substantiated in the concentrations of peanut-specific immunoglobulins in plasma, other than IgE.
