Relationship between serum levels of total and milk- and egg-specific IgG4 and the expression of G2m(n) in atopic eczema patients.
The percentage incidence of G2m(n) in a group of atopic eczema patients was found to be within the range quoted for normal Caucasian populations. Interestingly, however, grossly elevated serum levels of total and milk- and egg-specific IgG4 occurred much more frequently in the G2m(n)-positive group than in the G2m(n)-negative group.
