Someone asked if the finding meant that Alternaria was responsible for the illness. What I responded is they did IgG antibody test, which means exposure only. It does not mean illness. The illness probably resulted from whatever else was in the environment. That is why I commented the testing was limited. Do not relay on IgG anybodies to determine illness. They can only be interpreted as meaning an exposure has occurred sometime in the past.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 No. IgE antibodies means Type I hypersensitivity. If you do not have an allergy to an antigen, exposure to the antigen will not produce IgE. IgA is mucous membranes. Means a fairly recent exposure. IgM is produced with an initial exposure followed by IgG. If the IgM antibodies are more concentrated than IgG, then the exposure is recent. If IgG is more concentrated than IgM then exposure is older. If IgG are present and no IgM, then the exposure occurred longer ago. The antibodies are not exact as to when the exposure occurred.
