What’s inside
View ResearchDiscover the highly accurate and reproducible peanut allergy diagnosis using Epitope Mapping. This study introduces the Bead-Based Epitope Assay (BBEA), validated across multiple cohorts, including LEAP, CoFAR2, and POISED. The BBEA test, targeting Ara h 2 epitopes, demonstrates a 93% accuracy rate, outperforming traditional methods like skin prick tests and specific IgE assays. This advancement offers a reliable, non-invasive alternative for diagnosing peanut allergies, improving patient outcomes and clinical practices.
