A 27-year old atopic man experienced mild oral allergy syndrome when eating raw apples but tolerates apple juice and baked apple. Which of the following is most likely to be true?
- He has an increased IgE level that binds lipid transfer protein in apple
- He has positive skin test results to commercial extract of apple
- He has an increased IgE levels specific for the Bet v 1 allergen
