Wild cherry (Prunus avium) is a species of sweet cherry common in Europe, Northwest Africa, and Western Asia. Cherry fruits are drupes 1-2 cm in diameter, bright red or dark purple, edible, with a single stone inside. Cherry contains several allergenic components, including Pru av1 (major allergen), Pru av2, Pru av3, and Pru av4, which can cause food allergy in sensitive individuals. Symptoms range from mild oral allergy syndrome to severe reactions, including anaphylaxis.

Cherry is a common source of allergens capable of causing food allergy. Detecting sensitization to cherry allergen helps timely identify the risk of allergic reactions, prevent complications, and effectively manage the patient’s condition.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions to cherry.
  • Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
  • Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
  • Assessment of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay, ImmunoCAP) – quantitative determination of sensitization to cherry allergen.
