Using an indirect ELlSA technique together wilh rabbit antisera specific for human immunoglobulin classes and lgG subclasses, an estimate was made of the contribution of immunoglobulin classes and subclasses to the overall antibody response against codfish allergen in serum from a patient allergic to codfish. Allergen-specific antibodies were found to be of immunoglobulin classes lgM, lgD and lgE and the subclasses IgG1, lgG3 and IgG4. No antibodies of lgA class or lgG2 subclass were present. High levels of lgG3 and lgD were found.
