  • Title: Food allergy: a clinician's criteria for including sera in a serum bank.
    Author: Ballmer-Weber BK, Fernández-Rivas M.
    Journal: Food Chem Toxicol; 2008 Oct; 46 Suppl 10():S2-5. PubMed ID: 18706467.
    Abstract:
    Safety assessment for genetically-engineered crop plants includes assessment for allergic responses. To facilitate this assessment, serum banks should contain well-characterised sera from patients with confirmed food allergies. A serum is defined as well-characterised if it is taken from a patient who has a convincing history of allergic responses to a known allergen or an allergen-containing food, a positive skin prick test (or elevated IgE response), and a positive response in a clinical food challenge.
