Total IgE and allergen-specific IgE assays: guidelines for the provision of a laboratory service
The Analytical Methods Working Party of the Association of Clinical Biochemists (ACB) established this Task Force to consider the measurement of total serum IgE and specific IgE. The aims were to give general guidance on available methods of assay; to survey commercial kits and 'in-house' methods; to investigate performance based on external Quality Assessment and independent evaluation, and to advise on criteria laboratories should consider before setting up IgE and specific IgE assays.
