BACKGROUND: Current diagnosis of peanut allergy relies on natural extracts that lack
standardization. Recombinant DNA technology allows production of pure biochemically
characterized proteins. Their usefulness for peanut allergy diagnosis is not established.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the 3 major recombinant
peanut allergens. METHODS: Recombinant (r) Ara h 1, rAra h 2, and rAra h 3 were
produced according to the recommendations of good manufacturing practice for …
