LP15106-5   Theobroma cacao
Exposure through chocolate, candies and pastries. All cacao and chocolate products are derived from the seed of the Theobroma cacao fruit. The fermented, dried and roasted seeds are ground to make chocolate powder. The powder is used for drinks and confections, and also to make medicines more palatable. Cacao butter is used in making confections. Substitutes for the butter used in chocolate-flavored products are often derived from palm kernel oil, soy, corn and cotton-seed.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that cacao may induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals. Specific IgE antibodies have been found in patients with symptoms such as bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis after different food intake, of which chocolate was one such food.

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] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
