IgG-containing and IgE-containing circulating immune complexes in patients with asthma and rhinitis
WJ Stevens, CH Bridts - Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 1984 - Elsevier
In looking for an additional mechanism that could cause inflammation and therefore be
important in the pathogenesis of asthma and rhinitis, IgG-and IgE-CIC were determined in a
number of patients that were suffering from asthma and/or rhinitis. Patients were further
subdivided into allergic (type I allergy) and nonallergic patients on the basis of history, skin
testing with common inhalant allergens, RAST, and, if necessary, allergen provocation. In
addition, a control group and patients that were undergoing allergen-specific …
