, peanut
sensitised, and non-peanut allergic (peanut tolerant) subjects to
investigate the functional basis of the observed differences. The
findings of these investigations indicated that the higher proliferative
T cell responses in peanut allergic individuals compared
with non-allergic individuals were most likely caused by the presence
of peanut-specific IgE facilitating antigen presentation (FAP)
in peanut allergic children (Turcanu et al., 2010)
