Utility of casein-specific IgE levels in predicting reactivity to baked milk

J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2013 Jan;131(1):222-4.e1-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2012.06.049. Epub 2012 Aug 24.

Abstract

Based on data from a large cohort of milk allergic children, our results show that measurement of casein-specific IgE is a helpful diagnostic indicator for predicting reactivity to baked milk, showing the greatest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of parameters tested.
