The clinical significance of allergen-specific IgG4 in allergic diseases
IgG4 is a subclass of IgG antibody with a unique molecular feature of (Fragment antigen- binding) Fab-arm exchange, allowing bispecific antigen binding in a mono-valent manner. With low binding affinity to C1q and Fcγreceptors, IgG4 is incapable of forming immune complexes and activating the complem...
