TI  - Characterization and stability of specific IgE to white egg's, gliadin's and 
      peanut's proteins among children.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to characterize allergen-specific immunoglobulin 
      E (IgE) among children in Fez region. Eighty one children were recruited from the 
      Hospital University Center of Fez. All of them had completed a questionnaire 
      before taking sera. The sera were used to measure total IgE and specific data to 
      proteins of egg's white (EWP), peanuts (PP) and gliadins (G). In last part, we 
      studied the reactivity of specific IgE to native and to heat- and acid-treated 
      allergens. Allergen-specific IgE measurement indicated more positive values for 
      gliadins (46.9% up to 2IU/ml) than egg white's (29.6%) and peanut's proteins 
      (22.2%). According to predictive values published by Sampson (2001), 14.3% of 
      children are sensitive to egg white's proteins, 4.1% to gliadins and 2.7% to 
      peanut's proteins. The allergenic potential of EWP and gliadins among children 
      were partially diminished by heat and acid treatment. Allergen-specific IgE 
      measurement indicates that children from Fez region are more sensitive to EWP 
      than peanut's proteins and gliadins. Treatments of these food proteins indicated 
      that recognition by children IgE can be reduced by thermal or acid treatment of 
      these allergens.
