Conclusion
Buffers with different characteristics, (salts, ionic strength and use
of reducing agents) influence the profile of protein solutions during
the extraction process which in turn may influence the comparability of
distinct Allergy tests. All four buffers used in this work were suitable
for the extraction of immunogenic proteins from peanuts. Our results
demonstrate the need to use more than one protein profile to prevent
possible false negatives in in vitro and in vivo allergy tests.
