Among tree nut allergens, pecan allergens remain to be identified and characterized. The
objective was to demonstrate the IgE-binding ability of pecan 11S legumin and characterize …

Although pecans are associated with IgE-mediated food allergies, the allergens responsible
remain to be identified and characterized. The 2S albumin gene was amplified from the …

The 7S vicilin and 11S legumin seed storage globulins belong to the cupin protein
superfamily and are major food allergens in many foods from the “big eight” food allergen …

Background: We recently cloned and described a vicilin and showed it to be a major cashew
allergen. Additional IgE-reactive cashew peptides of the legumin group and 2S albumin …

BACKGROUND: Cashew nut allergy is the second most commonly reported tree nut allergy
in the United States. We have previously cloned and characterized major cashew allergens …

Allergy to walnut is the most frequently reported tree nut allergy in the United States. Walnut
2S albumin, a vicilin-like protein, and a lipid transfer protein allergen have previously been …

RATIONALE: Walnut, cashew, and hazelnut contain similar legumin proteins identified as
allergens. The aim of this study was to determine if cross-reactivity of IgE specific for the …

Background: Two patients with tree nut allergy manifested by life-threatening systemic
reactions reported the subsequent onset of systemic reactions after the consumption of …

The allergens associated with cashew food allergy have not been well-characterized. We
sought to identify the major allergens in cashew nut by performing IgE immunoblots to …

Allergic reactions to tree nuts are a growing global concern as the number of affected
individuals continues to rise. Unlike some food allergies, tree nuts can cause severe …
