%X BACKGROUND: The reagent which is available for single allergenic tests is Oriton IgE, ImmnoCAP, Alastat in Japan. No study has investigated the correlations of Oriton IgE and ImmnoCAP or Alastat, and, used for specific IgE antibody testing.
METHODS: Six frequently tested allergens (dust mite, cedar pollen, dog dander, egg white, milk, and candida) were measured by three methods, and Spearman rank correlation coefficient and class-judged agreement were evaluated. Furthermore, we did the evaluation like other 2 methods when we made small short sample volumes of Oriton IgE.
RESULTS: As for the examination result of Oriton IgE and ImmnoCAP or Alastat, constant correlation was confirmed. However, the tendency was a different result by assay method and an allergenic item. No significant differences were observed in the results of the Oriton IgE test when standard sample volumes and small short sample volumes were used.
CONCLUSIONS: These comparison results help us to understand each characteristic and select an optimal test method. In addition, it can be inferred that it is beneficial to choose tests requiring small sample volumes in pediatric patients.
