Аллергия: кровь на IgG.

The IgG ELISA Allergy Test
Another allergy test of questionable accuracy is IgG ELISA test. This test measures IgG and IgG4 antibodies to various foods which should not be confused with IgE antibody testing in conventional RAST and ImmunoCAP. Most people develop IgG antibodies to foods they eat and this is a normal non-specific response indicating exposure but not sensitisation. There is no convincing evidence to suggest that this test has any allergy diagnostic value. In fact, the IgG response may even be protective and prevent the development of IgE food allergy! IgG4 antibodies produced after high level cat allergen exposure in childhood confer cat allergy protection and not sensitisation.

Там еще про другие тесты на аллергию есть, но меня давно интересовал конкретно этот.
