3.4. Effect of thermal processing on the allergenicity of Ara h 2 in Balb/c
mice
Purified Ara h 2 from differentially thermal-treated peanuts was
applied to study the impact of thermal processing on the allergenicity
of Ara h 2 in mice. The immunization procedure is shown
in Fig. 4A. Typical allergy symptoms, including increased vascular
permeability, spleen swelling, and mast cell degranulation
