Disease relevance of Radioimmunosorbent Test

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in sera of eighty-four patients with sarcoidosis and fifty-one apparently healthy controls were measured by means of a radioimmunosorbent test (RIST) [1].

High impact information on Radioimmunosorbent Test

Subjects with atopy were identified on the basis of an elevated serum IgE level (> or = 95 IU per milliliter) or a positive radioimmunosorbent test in response to standard inhalant allergens [2].
In comparison with radioimmunosorbent test (RAST) and ELISA performed on unfractionated sera, IMMEL provided the highest specific IgE signals [3].
In the paper radioimmunosorbent test (PRIST) anti-human IgE coupled paper discs are used for the estimation of total IgE in blood serum: in the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) allergen-coupled paper discs are used for the estimation of specific IgE in blood serum [4].
The assays examined are the double antibody radioimmunoassay, single antibody/ammonium sulfate precipitation method and the paper radioimmunosorbent test (PRIST) [5].
The serum IgE level determined by the radioimmunosorbent test was compared before and after the therapy to reveal that oleandomycin caused decrease of IgE in 10 and increase in 9 of 20 cases examined [6].
