The current study was undertaken to examine the potential role of T cells in the
pathogenesis of peanut allergy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients
with peanut allergy, patients with asthma, and nonatopic normal control subjects were
assessed for proliferation after stimulation with a 17 kd major peanut allergen (Ara h II),
ovalbumin, casein, soy, and Candida albicans. We found that Ara h II and C. albicans
induced significantly higher levels of proliferation than ovalbumin, casein, and soy. Because …
