L. Elfman et al., DIFFERENT PROFILES IN SPECIFIC IGE TO RBET-V-1 AND RBET-V-2 IN PATIENTS ALLERGIC TO BIRCH POLLEN FROM 6 COUNTRIES, International archives of allergy and immunology, 113(1-3), 1997, pp. 249-251
There are differences in IgE reactivity to rBet v 1 and rBet v 2 among
allergic patients from the six countries studied. The complexity of t
he reactivity profile tends to be greater in individuals from the cent
ral/southern parts of Europe compared to Sweden and Finland. There is
a good agreement between in vitro diagnosis with Pharmacia CAP System
and Skin prick testing when using the same reagents, rBet v 1 and rBet
v 2.
