2 R REPORT DATE: /3/27 588G: Dietary Antigen Testing: Sensitivity and Complement 2/ Dietary Antigen Exposure by Food Group High levels of IgG antibodies to milk antigens have been reported in patients with eczema and/or asthma. In a separate study high levels of IgG4 antibodies were detected in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and/or bronchial asthma caused by hypersensitivity to soybean. In this report a human serum sample is probed for the presence of IgG s that have an exact affinity for specific dietary allergens. Dietary specific IgG s are clustered by food groups and the quantitative summation of the IgG s within the offending food group(s) are expressed graphically. The exclusion of the offending food group(s) from the diet has shown to improve the symptoms of these conditions.. Zar et al. Am J Gastroenterol 25; :5557 IgG Allergic reactions to dietary antigens can be immediate or delayed and the rate and types of reaction indicate different immune responses. Peter Gell and Robert Combs developed a system in 963 to classify these different reactions and this classification was later found to correlate with four different molecular pathways that lead to allergic responses. The four types were sensibly given the names Type I, II, III and IV hypersensitivity. There are four subclasses of the Gtype immunoglobulins produced in hypersensitivity reactions to dietary allergens and some of the subclasses of IgG are the most difficult to detect. In this report Type II/III responses are detected by measuring the IgG response to specific dietary antigens that mediates the production of food specific immune complexes. Complement IgG antibody levels can increase in the blood as a consequence of exposure to dietary antigens in the bloodstream, and elevated levels are seen in response to the most commonly eaten foods. These antibodies can combine with the specific dietary antigen to form a food immune complex. These complexes are thought to be the active agents for the delayed allergic responses. IgG mediated immune complexes are tagged for complement activity by complement antigens such as Cq and C3D. The absence or presence of complement activity is essential to the pathological pathway that the immune system follows in response to the offending dietary antigen or food group.

This test is not FDA approved, and FDA clearance is not currently required for clinical use. Results are not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis. Clinical correlation is required. Page 2 of 5 GA Clinical License: 446 CLIA ID: D29
