Accuracy of IgE antibody laboratory results
RA Wood, N Segall, S Ahlstedt, PB Williams - Annals of Allergy, Asthma & …, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that the magnitude of sensitization as
evidenced by specific IgE (sIgE) levels provides significant information as to whether a
sensitized individual is likely to be truly reactive. However, it is not clear that quantitative
sIgE results provided by different laboratories using different technologies are comparable.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether similar results were obtained from Clinical Laboratory
Improvement Act–certified laboratories that used 3 common systems for sIgE antibody …
