title: Is oral tolerance correlated with IgE levels and mast cell numbers?
abstract: A triple genetic association between serum IgE levels, mast cell numbers, and susceptibility to oral tolerance was observed in mice genetically selected to extreme phenotypes of oral tolerance (susceptibility and resistance), suggesting a coadaptation of genes controlling these traits.
