This follow-up study of 191 babies investigated the development of food allergy in an
unselected population and its relationship to total and antigen-specific IgE and IgG subclass
levels. Sensitization to egg, as indicated by a positive skin test or RAST, was found in 5% of
1-year-old babies, but none of the babies in this series fulfilled the clinical criteria for
immediate-type milk allergy. For both bovine casein (CAS) and egg albumin, the IgG
response was largely restricted to IgG1 in contrast to the predominant IgG4 response to …
