Figure 1 Egg allergen-specific IgE, IgD, and IgG4 levels in
egg-allergic and non-egg allergic patients (NEA). Egg white (EW)- (A, B,
and C ), ovomucoid (OVM)- (D, E, and F), and ovalbumin (OVA)- (G, and H)
specific IgE (A and D), IgD (B, E, and G), and IgG4 (G, F, and H) in the
complete avoidance of egg (CAE), partial avoidance of egg (PAE),
outgrown egg allergy (OGE), and NEA groups. *p<0.05,
**p<0.01, ***p<0.001
Figure 2 Relationship between ovalbumin (OVA)- and ovomucoid
(OVM)-specific IgD or IgG4 in egg-allergic and non-egg allergic patients
(NEA). Relationship between OVA- and OVM-specific IgD (A, B, C, and D)
or IgG4 (E, F, G, and H) in the complete avoidance of egg (CAE) (A, and
E), partial avoidance of egg (PAE) (B, and F), outgrown egg allergy
(OGE) (C, and G), and NEA (D, and H) groups. The logarithms of the ratio
of OVM-specific IgD to OVA-specific IgD (I) and that of OVM-specific
IgG4 to OVA-specific IgG4 (J). *p<0.05, ** p<0.001
Figure 3 Relationship between ovomucoid-specific IgD, IgG4, and
IgE in egg-allergic and non-egg allergic patients (NEA). The logarithms
of the ratio of OVM-specific IgE to OVM-specific IgD (A), OVM-specific
IgE to OVM-specific IgG4 (B), and OVM-specific IgD to OVM-specific IgG4
in the complete avoidance of egg (CAE), partial avoidance of egg (PAE),
outgrown egg allergy (OGE), and NEA groups. *p<0.001
Figure 4 Receiver-operating characteristic predicting tolerance
to cooked egg white ingestion. Receiver-operating characteristic curves
of OVM-specific IgE (long dashed double-dotted line), IgE/IgG4 (dotted
line), IgD (broken line), and IgE/IgD (bold line).
