Clinical ragweed pollenosis (hay fever) and IgE antibody production specific for antigen E (the major purified protein antigen from ragweed pollen extract) correlated closely with HL-A haplotypes in successive generations of seven families. HL-A associated IgE antibody responsiveness was antigen specific and extended also to IgGantibody production. These data indicate an immune response (Ir) gene specific for antigen E necessary but not sufficient for the development of hay fever. This appears to be the first documentation of an Ir gene in man.
