[The importance of radio-allergo-sorbent-test in comparison with intracutaneous test in diagnosis of allergic diseases]. 1975

H W Schneeberger, and E Seibert, and D Steinhausen, and G Forck

A comparison of clinical skin-tesing using the prick-test and the intracutaneous test with the radio-allergo-sorbent-test (RAST) in 167 patients with different immediate-type allergies showed concordant results in 75.7 per cent of the cases. In 20 per cent of the cases, the skin-test was positive while the simultaneous RAST was negative. Results in male and female patients did not show any important difference. The two test methods agreed well with selected antigens, e.g. grass-pollen, animal-epithelium, fungi and egg white; whereas, the two methods showed considerably different results using tree pollen and housedust as antigens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006967 Hypersensitivity Altered reactivity to an antigen, which can result in pathologic reactions upon subsequent exposure to that particular antigen. Allergy,Allergic Reaction,Allergic Reactions,Allergies,Hypersensitivities,Reaction, Allergic,Reactions, Allergic
D008297 Male Males
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
