cakes that contain egg. Which of the following is most likely to be true?
He has an allergic reaction to the butter used to bake the egg.
He has an increased ovalbumin specific IgE.
The heating and Maillard reaction during baking cakes does NOT abrogate IgE binding to the egg proteins for this person.
He has an increased IgE level that is specific for ovomucoid.
Question 2
Why can most celiac disease patients tolerate oat but not barley?
Because the barley has many prolines and glutamine residues in the gliadin protein.
Because oat-specific T cells produce Th2 cytokines
Because oat avenin is quite different form barley gliadin and glutenin
Because tTG cannot deamidate oat proteins
Question 3

antibodies?
IL-4
Il-10
IL-17
IL-5
Question 4

their surfaces?
IgE
Gamma interferon
Class I MHC antigen
Class II MHC antigens
Question 5
Which of the following regarding the high affinity IgE receptor FceRI is true?
This receptor is expressed on neutrophils when they leave the blood stream
The receptor is present on basophils in the blood circulation
The receptor is present on those B cells that produce IgE antibodies
The receptor expression is induced on mast cells ONLY in the presence of the allergen
Question 6
All of the following are released by mast cells at degranulation, except
Histamine
Prostaglandins
IgE antibodies
, Leukotrienes
Question 7
Can microbiota influence the development of allergies?
Yes, because they compromise intestinal barrier function.
No, because they promote Th2 development.
Yes, when they produce short chain fatty acids.
No, when they ferment proteins.
Question 8
Anti IgE treatment with Xolair/Omalizumab can:
Crosslink IgE that is bound to FceRI.
Block binding of IgE to FceRI.
Induce allergen-specific IgG antibody responses.
All of the above.

You can consume moderate portions of cheese and yoghurt (and even a bit of milk) when you are lactose intolerant.
