The Epidemiology and Genetics of Atopic Allergy

Marsh, David G., Meyers, Deborah A., Bias, Wilma B.·1981·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

STUDIES of atopic allergy ("allergy") have provided new insight in defining the epidemiologic and genetic basis for the human immune response.1 , 2 Allergy is characterized by the development of antibody responses of a unique immunoglobulin — IgE3 — after exposure to inhaled, ingested, or injected antigens (usually termed "allergens"). Under conditions of natural exposure to extremely low doses (usually less than 1 μg per year),4 atopic persons have IgE-antibody responses toward an array of environmental allergens present in pollens, fungal spores, animal danders, and similar substances. Synthesis of IgE is favored by natural immunization through inhalation, since antigens come directly into . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
