Allergies

Global network to focus on spillover potential

Scientists have been perplexed by the fact that many individuals have circulating allergen-specific IgE antibodies without ever developing allergy symptoms

In a recent study, researchers were able to predict the severity of the symptoms before the start of pollen season based on the expression rate of these biomarkers 

A research team has been able to describe the overall structure of the antibody type IgE, the key molecule in allergic diseases

With more information, medical providers can better predict which patients may be at risk for life-threatening reactions to certain foods

A call to action for laboratories performing specific-IgE testing
