  • Title: The radioallergosorbent test in the diagnosis of canine atopic disease.
    Author: Halliwell RE, Kunkle GA.
    Journal: J Allergy Clin Immunol; 1978 Oct; 62(4):236-42. PubMed ID: 701658.
    Abstract:
    The radioallergosorbent test (RAST) was adapted for use in the dog employing purified anti-canine IgE. The agreement between positive RAST and positive skin test ranged from 82% for ragweed to only 12.5% for dandelion. Agreement between negative tests in the case of all allergens was 100%. Further developmental studies of canine RAST are warranted in view of the value of the dog as an experimental model of atopic disease.
