AB  - As early as 1919, from a case of transient asthma caused by blood transfusion, 
      the presence in serum of a factor causing allergy was proposed. Despite intense 
      search, this factor was not identified until 1968, when immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      was officially recognized by the World Health Organization. The knowledge about 
      IgE mediating allergy has greatly improved our understanding of allergic 
      inflammation and diagnoses and treatment of allergic diseases.
