Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides hypoallergenic peanut allergens Ara h 1 or Ara h 2 variants lacking at least one epitope recognized by anti-Ara h 1 antibodies or anti-Ara h 2 antibodies, thereby having reduced or abolished antibody binding to the peanut allergen variants. These hypoallergenic peanut allergen variants may be used in methods of inducing desensitization to peanuts in a subject allergic to peanuts.
