Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil
Project lead: Dr. Lucila Camargo
Project topic: Banana allergy and peanut allergy
Project aim: To investigate the IgE profile of patients allergic to banana (and maybe other fruits) in São Paulo, as well as to investigate the IgE profile of patients allergic to peanut in Sao Paulo.
Expected results: To receive a better insight into the sensitisation patterns of the Brazilian population, especially on a molecular level. This will lead to an increased accuracy of allergy diagnosis in Brazil.
Contribution by MADx: To support this research effort, MADx provided ALEX² tests to Dr. Camargo and her team.
