Laboratory tests in allergy diagnosis

MUDr. Stanislava Honzová
Imunologické centrum, Praha

In vitro diagnosis of type I allergy is based on the detection, and quantification of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in serum of atopic

patients. New laboratory methods were introduced during past years.

Keywords: allergy diagnosis, allergen specific IgE, basophil activation test, recombinant allergens.
