This test is useful when a peanut allergy is suspected and to identify the specific molecule that has previously caused a positive result in the associated allergen extract test.
Ara h 2 is a seed storage protein called conglutin and is part of the 2S albumin family. Individuals sensitised to Ara h 2 have a higher risk of severe symptoms and anaphylactic reactions, as Ara h 2 is one of the most potent and frequently recognized peanut allergens. Roasting peanuts at high temperatures increases the allergenicity of Ara h 2.
Due to its resistance to both heat and enzymatic digestion, individuals with a suspected allergy to Ara h 2 may experience gastrointestinal, skin and respiratory reactions, and even anaphylaxis.
Cross-reactivity may occur especially with almond and Brazil nut allergens.
