recall at baseline and at 3-month intervals for a period of 12 months. No information regarding food allergy diagnoses or reactions was obtained. Skin-prick testing to 13 environmental allergens was performed at enrollment in the National Cooperative Inner City-Asthma Study. The random serum samples were evaluated for specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) (UniCap System) to egg, milk, soy, peanut, wh...

Abbreviation used FDA: US Food and Drug Administration RAST: RadioAllergoSorbent Test The allergist/immunologist judiciously diagnoses allergic disease by using confirmatory IgE antibody data from in vivo and in vitro assays after the collection of a clinical history. After an overview of historical events, clinically available allergenspecific IgE assays from Phadia, Siemens, and Hycor are con...

By means of a double polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and PRIST technique IgE was detected in 3% PEG precipitates and in the immune complex enriched fractions purified by solid-phase Clq adsorption from sera of 11 of 20 patients with Felty's syndrome. No correlation was found between the occurrence of complexed IgE and total protein content of the immune complex enriched material. IgE rh...

The allergist/immunologist judiciously diagnoses allergic disease by using confirmatory IgE antibody data from in vivo and in vitro assays after the collection of a clinical history. After an overview of historical events, clinically available allergen-specific IgE assays from Phadia, Siemens, and Hycor are contrasted by their design and performance characteristics. The assays share comparable ...

Mast cells are the major effector cells for immediate hypersensitivity and chronic allergic reactions. These cells accumulate in mucosal tissues of allergic reactions, where immunoglobulin E (IgE) is produced locally. Here we provide evidence that, in addition to antigen that can attract IgE-bound mast cells, the type of IgE molecules that efficiently activate mast cells can promote the migrati...

BACKGROUND Total IgE levels in allergic patients tend to be higher than those in healthy individuals. We evaluated the usefulness of total IgE levels in predicting positive results of allergen specific IgEs in multiple allergen simultaneous tests. METHODS A total of 133 patients with allergic symptoms were evaluated. Allergen specific IgEs were detected using 3 different kits: Allergy screen ...

Objective The study aim was to compare interictal encephalographic (EEG) functional network topology between people with well-controlled idiopathic generalized epilepsy (WC-IGE) and drug-resistant IGE (DR-IGE). Methods Nineteen participants WC-IGE, 18 DR-IGE, 20 controls underwent a resting state, 64-channel EEG. An artifact-free epoch bandpass filtered into the frequency range of high low exte...

serum ige assay is a mainstay step in the allergy work up. allergenic extracts and molecular components are available at present. this real life study compared the serum specific ige levels against allergenic extracts with allergenic molecules in patients allergic to parietaria, betulaceae , and mites. this retrospective real life study included 489 subjects with respiratory allergy. inclusion ...
