Objectives:
The objective of this study was to examine the performance of AdvanSure AlloScreen Max with 92 different allergens compared to Polycheck Allergy and ImmunoCAP. The relationship of serum IgE concentration with the number and the highest class/level of positive allergen-specific IgEs was also examined.
Methods:
A total of 406 serum samples were included in this study. Discrepant cases between AdvanSure AlloScreen Max and Polycheck Allergy underwent ImmunoCAP testing for allergen-specific IgE.
Results:
Total agreement of the two multiple allergen simultaneous tests (MAST) was 92.5%. Compared to ImmunoCAP, total agreement rate was higher with AdvanSure AlloScreen Max (60.8%) than that with Polycheck Allergy (39.2%). Serum IgE concentration showed a significant and positive correlation with the number and the highest class/level of positive allergen-specific IgEs.
Conclusions:
A MAST assay panel containing as many allergens as possible would be more helpful in the allergen screening for patients with high serum IgE concentration.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
