Title: IgE FAST inhibition: a rapid technique for the standardization of pollen allergen extract potency. Author: Jones LA, Jones RM, Sun JV, Tsay YG, Rock HS, Nicholson P. Journal: Ann Allergy; 1986 Mar; 56(3):222-5. PubMed ID: 3954162. Abstract: An IgE FAST(TM) inhibition protocol has been developed as a rapid in vitro method for determining relative potencies of in vivo allergenic extracts. Results are obtained within one day and correlate well with those of the RAST inhibition protocol (r = .96), making the FAST assay a preferable procedure for inprocess potency determination during the manufacture of standardized allergenic extracts.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
