2015 VAM: 4813 - Food Allergens: What is New?

Food allergies are triggered by a great variety of protein derived peptides and recent advances in molecular diagnosis has allowed for the identification of new food allergens that are responsible for subtypes of food allergies, such as anaphylaxis, exercise induced anaphyalxis, oral allergy syndrome or eosinophilic esophagitis. This recording examines these various types of food allergies, triggers for allergic reactions, and mechanisms by which food components stimulate the immune system.
