Abstract
In individuals with peanut allergy, Ara h 1-reactive T cells occurred at moderate frequencies, were predominantly CCR4+ memory cells, and produced IL-4. Class II tetramers can be readily used to detect Ara h 1-reactive T cells in the peripheral blood of subjects with peanut allergy without in vitro expansion and would be effective for tracking peanut-reactive CD4+ T cells during immunotherapy.
