Abstract:
Dialysis of Hymenoptera venoms for measurement of HR by the radioimmunoassay technique (RIA, Immunotech) lowers the threshold of positivity of the HR titre from 30% to 12%. This modification of dialysis of the venoms significantly improves the sensitivity and specificity of the technique.
