In vitro diagnosis of allergy. Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) studies with some allergens commonly encountered in Australia. 1975

B A Baldo, and E H Quinn, and K J Turner

The radioallergosorbent test (RAST) is proving valuable for experimental work in allergy research and as an in-vitro supplement in the diagnosis of clinical allergy. A detailed description of the materials and procedures required to establish the technique as a routine laboratory method, and data obtained in setting up the method for use with a variety of allergens commonly encountered in Australia are presented.

D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D008925 Mites Any arthropod of the subclass ACARI except the TICKS. They are minute animals related to the spiders, usually having transparent or semitransparent bodies. They may be parasitic on humans and domestic animals, producing various irritations of the skin (MITE INFESTATIONS). Many mite species are important to human and veterinary medicine as both parasite and vector. Mites also infest plants. Acarus,Mite
