Agreement between radioallergosorbent test and skin test. 1977

H C Pascual, and P M Reddy, and H Nagaya, and S K Lee, and J Lauridsen, and S Gupta, and D Jerome

A total of 4,260 RAST results were compared with the same number of prick and intracutaneous skin test results. Intracutaneous test was done only when the prick test was negative. The mean agreement between positive RAST and positive prick test was 81.3% for five grasses, 45.1% for seven weeds, 42.2% for two trees, 42.6% for two molds, and 45.8% for two environmental antigens. The mean agreement between positive RAST and positive intracutaneous test ranged from 0 to 4.9% for the same antigens.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011852 Radioallergosorbent Test An in vitro allergen radioimmunoassay in which allergens are coupled to an immunosorbent. The coupled allergens bind the IgE in the sera of patients which in turn binds radioisotope-labeled anti-IMMUNOGLOBULIN E antibodies. Radioimmunosorbent Assay of Allergens,Allergens Radioimmunosorbent Assay,Allergens Radioimmunosorbent Assays,Radioallergosorbent Tests,Test, Radioallergosorbent,Tests, Radioallergosorbent
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.
