Birch pollen-related food allergy: clinical aspects and the role of allergen-specific IgE and IgG4 antibodies. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 127(3):616-622.e1.
Birch pollen-related food allergy is highly prevalent and often perennial. High food allergen-specific IgG(4)/IgE ratios seem associated with food tolerance, potentially because specific IgG(4) blocks IgE binding to food allergens. Thus, the presence of food allergen-specific IgG(4) antibodies is no diagnostic marker for birch pollen-related food allergy.
