2010-02-21 Exciting advance reported in peanut allergy therapy

Another approach looks at antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE), which recognizes the offending allergenic proteins and is responsible for immediate reactions, including anaphylaxis. A treatment that has shown success in clinical trials works like a vacuum cleaner, removing all of the IgE from the bloodstream, she said. This has been approved for the treatment of asthma, and could also decrease the chance of reactions during immunotherapy for food allergies.

The results showed that 21 of the 23 children, or 91 percent, can safely eat at least five peanuts every day without any reaction. One of the children can get two peanuts a day, and one dropped out of the study. After six months, 19 of them could tolerate 12 peanuts at a time, and after one year, 15 participants could tolerate 32 peanuts. Participants said they didnt have to carefully read food labels or fear the allergy anymore, Clark said.
