Basophil Allergen Threshold Sensitivity, CD-Sens, and IgE Antibodies to Wheat, Hydrolysed Wheat, ω-5 Gliadin and Timothy Grass in Relation to Wheat Challenge Outcome

Abstract

Wheat is one of the six most common foods causing allergy, requires a wheat free diet and has implications on the quality of life. The diagnosis of IgE-mediated immediate wheat allergy is currently based on oral food challenges which are time consuming, associated with risks and not frequently performed. An improved diagnostic workup is needed for wheat allergy.
