Part Descriptions
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]

LP99495-1 Polistes dominulus
An insect, which may cause allergy symptoms in sensitized individuals. P. dominulus, P. gallicus, P. biglumis and, to a lesser extent, P. ninphus are the most widely spread in Europe and are especially relevant in Mediterranean areas, while P. annularis, P. fuscatus, P. metricus, P. apachus and P. exclamans are present in the USA.
IgE-mediated reactions often present as large local manifestations, with swelling extending from the sting site, erythema, and pain. Reactions may remain local, or become regional, or become generalised, with anaphylactic symptoms such as urticaria, flushing and angioedema, as well as more serious respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms. The reactions can be fatal. Immediate and delayed reactions are seen, delayed ones being less common. Anaphylactic reactions to Hymenoptera stings are not dose-dependent or related to the number of stings. Most deaths related to Hymenoptera stings are the result of immediate hypersensitivity reactions that result in anaphylaxis.
