Allergy to pistachio: crossre activity between pistachio nut and other Anacardiaceae C. FERNANDEZ 1 , A. FIANDOR 1 , A. MARTINEZ-GARATE* J. MARTINEZ QUESADA* 1 Hospital General de Guadalajara, Guadalajara *IFIDESA-ARISTEGUI, Bilbao, Spain Correspondence: Dr C. Fernandez, Unidad de Alergia, Hospital General de Guadalajara, Donantesde Sangre, s/n, 19002 Guadalajara, Spain. Copyright 1995 Blackwell Science Ltd KEYWORDS food allergy • nut allergy • pistachio • cashew • mango • pistachio allergens • Anacardiaceae crossreactivity ABSTRACT Background Anaphylaxis against Anucardiuccae nuts is uncommon and the allergens involved still poorly characterized. For this reason two patients with allergy towards pistachio nut (a member of the Anacardiaceae family) have been studied. Objective Identification of immunoallergens present in pistachio nut and analysis of crossreactive antigens in other members of the same plant family, specifically cashew and mango. Methads Presence of specific IgE for pistachio and cashew nut and for mango seed and pulp was determined by skin tests and radioallergosorbent assay (RAST). The allergenic profile of pistachio and cashew was analysed by sodium dodeeyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) followed by immunoblotting. Crossreactivity between pistachio and the other Anacardiaceae was studied by RAST inhibition. Results Skin tests were positive for pistachio and cashew in the two children and for mango seed in one. RAST was positive for pistachio and cashew in both patients. On immunoblotting, serum from both patients recognized several pistachio and cashewallergens with a molecular weight ranging from <14.2–70kDa. RAST inhibition demonstrated common antigenic determinants between pistachio and cashew nut. Crossreactivity was also found between pistachio nut and mango seed but not with mango pulp. Conclusion Pistachio nut contains several protein allergens able to trigger type I hyperscnsitivity reactions. These allergens can be found also in cashew nut and mango seed but not in mango pulp. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted 3 March 1995; revised 28 June 1995; accepted 3 July 1995. |

All Iranian pistachios were dyed pink. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 888883Thats right! In Europe they where pink, my dad said they are suppose to be green, since he was from the states. |
