If peanut cake meal is used in the culture medium during vaccine manufacture... is it possible that a few stray peanut proteins could remain in the finished product? If so, could those proteins, along with the adjuvents in the vaccine, designed specifically to illicit an immune response, cause or contribute to a peanut allergy?
