The accuracy of measurement using kits in the clinical laboratories is important for the patient diagnosis and treatment. In the present paper, the AL-18, AlaSTAT, CAP, FAST and RAST methods were investigated and were compared among kits the results obtained with serum sample, for determination of specific IgE antibodies. Significant differences among kits were observed from the results of those methods. One of the reasons, why the data discrepancy exists, is that each kit uses a different reference and a different inclusion method of allergen. For the evaluation of data discrepancy among those kits, it might be important that the clinical history of symptoms and in vivo tests against the different allergens compared with results of in vivo tests.
