Decreased serum food-specific-IgA antibodies have been associated with allergic disease in cross-sectional, case-control studies. The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare egg-white-(EW)-specific-IgA and IgA2 levels between egg-allergic children and children tolerating egg. Seventeen egg allergic children were followed prospectively. Total IgA, EW-specific-IgA and EW-specific-IgA2 levels were measured in their sera with a sensitive ELISA. As negative controls were used children with no previous history of egg allergy. Egg-allergic children with or without concomitant milk allergy were evaluated as additional controls with measurement of casein-specific-IgA. After 2.5±0.9 years, 9 out of 17 allergic children became tolerant and 8 remained allergic to baked egg. Baseline EW-specific-IgA2 levels were significantly lower in the egg-allergic subjects (median 23.9ng/ml) compared with the negative control subjects (99.4ng/ml) and increased significantly by 28% over the study time period in 8 out of the 9 allergic children that became tolerant to baked egg. There was no significant change over time in EW-specific-IgA in any of the study groups. Non-milk-allergic subjects with concomitant egg allergy had almost 3-fold higher casein-specific-IgA levels than the milk- and egg-allergic subjects (P=0.025). These results suggest a potential role for allergen-specific-IgA2 antibodies in the induction of food tolerance. Furthermore, they support the hypothesis that immature or impaired production of allergen-specific-IgA2 may be associated with the pathophysiology of food allergy, a defect that seems to be selective for the culprit allergen.
