Peach – a plant from the Rosaceae family, common in warm temperate regions. The fruits of the peach tree – peaches and nectarines – are popular food products. The allergen component Pru p3 is a lipid transfer protein (LTP) that causes sensitization and can trigger severe allergic reactions. Determining specific IgE to rPru p3 helps diagnose peach allergy and assess the risk of systemic reactions.
Peach is a common allergen causing both local (oral allergy syndrome) and systemic reactions (hives, bronchial asthma, anaphylactic shock). The allergen component Pru p3 is a panallergen resistant to digestive enzymes and heat treatment, which accounts for its high allergenicity and cross-reactivity with other fruits and nuts. Determination of IgE to rPru p3 by ImmunoCAP is the "gold standard" of molecular allergology, providing accurate diagnosis and risk prediction of severe allergic reactions.
