A number of laboratories contributed to sequencing and allergenicity of the the 2S albumins from peanut, called Ara h 2. The AW Burks lab in Arkansas, Wolf-Becker's lab in Germany, the Chatel lab INRA, in France and the Visquez group in Alabama among others. We do not have a record of the original submission.
