Resumo1. Guinea pigs can be sensitized with an extract of raw banana, but not with a similarly prepared extract of the same nitrogen content of heat-processed, dehydrated banana flakes. 2. Guinea pigs specifically sensitized to the raw fruit can be shocked with the extract of raw banana, but not with the extract of the dehydrated banana. 3. Guinea pigs injected with dehydrated banana cannot be shocked with banana or dehydrated banana. 4. Two atopic children, clinically sensitive to banana, could ingest dehydrated banana without allergic manifestations. Although sensitive by cutaneous reactions to raw banana extract, both showed negative reactions to dehydrated banana. In one, the results of these cutaneous reactions were corroborated by passive transfer studies.
