    Abstract: A method for quantifying the levels of allergen-specific human IgG antibody subclasses, particularly of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 subclasses, using a reverse ELISA immunoenzymatic technique. Also provided is a kit comprising microtitration plates for ELISA already sensitized/covered with monoclonal antibodies, for example, anti-Der p 1 or anti-Der p 2, total extract from corresponding allergens, labeled secondary antibodies, enzymatic conjugate, enzymatic substrate, and chromogenic buffer, as well as reference positive and negative control sera. The method provides high sensitivity for the detection of specific IgG antibody subclasses and is a potential tool for the control and attendance of allergen-specific immunotherapy in patients with allergic respiratory disease.
