The identification of B-cell epitopes of food allergens can possibly lead to novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic reagents for food allergy. We sought to develop a flexible, low-tech, cost-effective and reproducible multipeptide microarray for the research environment to enable large-scale screening of IgE epitopes of food allergens.
