In allergic asthmatics, local IgE production is higher than in nonallergic asthmatics [3] and high local IgE levels have been linked to the clinical phenotype. Interestingly, in cases of nasal polyps, local IgE targets mainly superantigens [8].IgE responses to Aspergillus fumigatus in cystic fibrosis lungs http://ow.ly/XXwv30furqsT.
