The relation of serum immunoglobulin A and delayed hypersensitivity skin tests to serum immunoglobulin E levels

H S Nelson et al. Ann Allergy. 1977 Aug.

Abstract

Serum IgA and IgE levels were obtained in 706 patients, 294 of whom were also tested for cutaneous delayed hypersensitivity. The results do not support the concept that a deficiency of serum IgA or of T lymphocyte function underlies the elevated serum IgE levels observed in a majority of allergic patients.
