Fig 1 Prevalence and concentration of IgE and IgG to 10 PR-10 molecules from birth to 13 years in 28 children with birch atopy (A, B, D, E) and 28 nonatopic children (C and F). Levels of IgG and IgE antibodies are geometric mean values of ISU of positive sera for IgE (cutoff ≥0.3 ISU) or for IgG (cutoff ≥0.1 ISU).
