Abstract | IgE sensitization profiles to single birch allergens in birch-sensitized patients differ among European countries. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of specific IgE antibodies to major and minor birch pollen allergens in a population of allergic Norwegian individuals by using a birch allergic blood donor population as a surrogate sample. Sixty blood donors were recruited and sampled based on birch allergy symptoms such as rhinitis, rhinoconjunctivitis and/or mild asthma in previous seasons. All sera were collected before start of the pollen season and tested using a line blot assay (Euroimmun AG, Lübeck, Germany) for IgE to birch and timothy pollen. Both extracts, single allergens, and cross-reacting carbohydrate determinants (CCD) were analysed. Only donors with specific IgE to birch and/or timothy grass were further evaluated. Specific IgE to birch pollen extract was found in 52 sera, and sensitization to timothy grass in 40 sera. Specific IgE to Bet v 1 was predominant in contrast to Bet v 4 which was absent. However, sensitization to the minor allergens Bet v 2 and 6 was always found together with high levels of IgE to Bet v 1. Subjects sensitized to the profilin Bet v 2 from birch were also sensitized to Phl p 12 from timothy grass. In conclusion, there was predominantly Bet v 1 sensitization in this cohort and low sensitization to minor allergens and cross-reactive allergens (Bet v 2, Bet v 4, Phl p 7 and Phl p 12). |
