Abstract
Two in vitro systems of measuring total IgE and specific IgE antibodies were compared using serum of patients suspected of having allergic rhinitis due to inhalation of grass pollen. One in vitro system was the Phadebas PRIST and RAST. The accuracy of these tests has been well defined and they were used as the standard. The Acti*Tip Allerg*E and Allerg*ENS system is a new technique utilizing a similar solid-phase immunologic methodology with an enzyme-based detection system. It has some advantages primarily related to the mechanics of performing the test and marked reduction in time for obtaining results. The correlation between the Phadebas and Acti*Tip systems was highly significant for measuring total IgE and specific IgE antibodies for grasses in serum.
