Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the hypersensitivity to grass pollens (gxl) and to wheat (f4), rye ff5) and soya (fl 4) in children with allergic disease. Specific IgE was determined by the FEIA CAP- System. Hypersensitivity was expressed in classes from 1 to 6. Specific IgE antibodies against grass (gxl) in 944 children with allergic disease, aged from 6 months to 18 years were detected. At the same time in 532 of these children - specific IgE to wheat and rye and in 122 children specific IgE to soya were also estimated. We detected very high correlation between the hypersensitivity to grass and the presence of specific IgE to wheat, rye (r=0.96, p<0.01) and soya (r=0.90, p<0.05).

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
