Abstract
and specific IgE determination. the past decade recombinant allergen components from pollen of birch are
available for allergen-specific IgE antibody testing. the major allergen of birch tree pollen is Bet v 1; Bet v 2 is a
well described minor allergen.
Methods. 83 patients with birch pollinosis (55 male/28 female, age 4-35 years, mean 15,5) were observed. specific
IgE levels were determined by using the ImmunoCap (Phadia, sweden); skin prick tests with standard aeroallergens
panel was used.
Results. All 83 patients had positive skin tests to birch pollen. the levels of specific IgE to rBet v1 had 87,9% of
patients, sIgE to rBet v 2 (profilin) 14,5% of patients, sIgE to rBet v 1 and rBet v 2 13,3% of patients.
Conclusion. the prevalence of the patients with presence of IgE - antibodies to profiling Bet v2 among citizens
of moscow region, sensitized to birch, accounts 14,5%.
