Part Descriptions
LP17217-8 Carica papaya
Papaya trees, which originated in West India, Mexico or Central America, are widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas. There are 2 types of Papaya fruit, Hawaiian and Mexican. The Hawaiian varieties are the Papayas commonly found in supermarkets. These pear-shaped fruit generally weigh about half a kilo. Mexican Papayas are oblong and may weigh up to 5 kilos. Papaya skin is generally yellow to green. The flesh is bright orange, yellow or pinkish, depending on variety, and small black seeds cluster in the centre. A properly ripened Papaya is juicy, sweetish and somewhat like a cantaloupe in flavour.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that Papaya may occasionally induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals; however, few studies have been reported to date. Reactions may occur to individual commercially extracted components of Papaya, e.g., Papain or Chymopapain. Reactions include urticaria, colitis, and anaphylaxis (sometimes to Papain). Papaya allergy is thought to be mainly due to cross-reactivity to Latex, but may occur on its own.

LP32397-9 Ab.IgG4
IgG4 is the least common subtype of IgG, and it has a variety of functions. In the context of allergic disease it is thought to have an immune-inhibitory role in preventing anaphylaxis and is commonly known as a "blocking" antibody. IgG4 binding to an allergen can compete with IgE-mediated binding, thereby inhibiting the activation of mast cells and basophils and IgE-mediated presentation to T-cells. Measuring IgG4 and its ratio to IgE has a role in monitoring allergen specific immunotherapy PMID: 26023323. IgG4 is also thought to have a role in autoimmunity and be involved in a less defined entity known as IgG4-Related Disease, a chronic immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disorder that often manifests with tumor-like masses .https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/musculoskeletal-and-connective-tissue-disorders/igg4-related-disease/igg4-related-disease
