title: Effects of a pre-existing food allergy on the oral introduction of food proteins: findings from a murine model.
abstract: Cashew-allergic mice develop elevated walnut-specific IgE upon oral feeding of walnut proteins. Ingestion of tree nuts in the presence of a known nut allergy could lead to additional sensitizations and anaphylaxis following subsequent exposure.
