Galactose-α-1,3-Galactose–Specific IgE Is Associated with Anaphylaxis but Not Asthma

Abstract

These results provide a model of an ectoparasite-induced specific IgE response that can increase total serum IgE without creating a risk for asthma, and further evidence that the main allergens that are causally related to asthma are those that are inhaled.
