Food allergy is an adverse immunological reaction to allergens
present in food. Up to 4% adults and 8% children are affected by
food allergy. The increase in allergic diseases to food has led
to the need for better diagnostics and more effective therapeutic
approaches.

This book describes the molecular biology and immunology of major
food allergens, from laboratory based science to clinical
immunology, encompassing novel characterisation and
quantification methods, the application of recombinant food
allergens in molecular diagnosis and the development of novel
therapeutics. This book is the ideal reference tool for
researchers, students and allergy clinicians to accurately
diagnose and manage food allergies.
