Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Identifying specific allergens is crucial for diagnosing and managing atopic asthma. Various in vitro and in vivo tests can detect allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, aiding clinical decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Allergology

Context:

  • Atopic asthma diagnosis and management require identifying causative antigens.
  • Accurate detection of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) is essential.

Purpose:

  • To review methods for detecting antigen-specific IgE antibodies in atopic asthma.
  • To compare the sensitivity and utility of different diagnostic assays.

Summary:

  • In vitro assays like Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and Enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) measure total and specific IgE.
  • Skin tests (intradermal, prick, scratch) offer sensitive detection of specific IgE, with intradermal being most sensitive.
  • Functional antibody assays include in vivo (provocation tests) and in vitro (histamine release, Cellular Antigen Stimulation Test - CAST) methods.
  • Diagnostic preferences vary globally, with Japan favoring in vitro assays and the US recommending skin tests.
