[Assay of IgE specific to dog epithelia by the Pharmacia CAP RAST technique: comparison of the two CAP RAST e2 and e5].

We present a comparative study of measurement of dog-epithelium-specific IgE by two Pharmacia CAP Rast techniques e2 and e5. For both measurements the technique is identical, but the allergen extracts are different: e2 = dachshund extract whilst e5 = a mixture of squames of german shepherd and poodle. We show that the e5-specific IgE seems to be more sensitive than the e2-specific IgE.
