[Component-resolved diagnosis is a new era in clinical allergology]
Abstract:
The paper describes the fundamentals and benefits of a new allergy diagnostic technique based on recent advances in molecular biology and biotechnology. Component-resolved diagnosis allows IgE antibodies against purified molecules (individual allergen components) to be revealed. Microanalysis is made using microarrays with applied molecules (allergen components) obtained in a recombinant fashion or extracted from natural raw materials. The authors present a current classification of animal and plant allergens and show the value of component-resolved diagnosis in clinical practice, by using specific clinical examples.
