Abstract

Ovalbumin-specific IgG4 is an independent predictor of tolerance development to uncooked egg. Ovalbumin-sIgE/sIgG4 ratio, followed by skin prick test (SPT), seems to perform better than sIgE in identifying egg-allergic children with high probability of tolerance to cooked and uncooked egg over follow-up.
