| Research Abstract |
We investigated the mechanism by which egg white allergen, L-PGDS increases serum ovalbumin(OVA)-IgE level in OVA-sensitized mice. L-PGDS enhances OVA-IgE via Th1/Th2 polarization. L-PGDS also induces peripheral allergic inflammation. The amount of L-PGDS in various egg whites and the change of quantity by preservation were measured by ELISA.
