Immunoblot, Chemiluminescence and ImmunoCap Allergen Specific IgE Evaluation of in Allergic Rhinitis Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In the present study the investigators assay house dust mites (HDMs) IgE in sera of allergic rhinitis patients (AR) using immunoblotting, chemiluminescence, and ImmunoCAP assays to compare between the accuracy of both immunoblotting and chemiluminescence assays, and ImmunoCAP as gold standard.

Detailed Description
All allergic rhinitits patients who were monosensitized to mixed HDMs, identified by SPT, will be subjected to complete history taking and assessment of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, performance of skin prick test and measurement of total serum IgE, measurement of specific IgE by Chemiluminescence Immunoassa, immunoblot assay and ImmunoCAP™ Phadiatop™. The patients will be followed-up for 6 months.

Experimental: Allergic Rhinitis Patients House dust mites (HDMs) IgE in sera of allergic rhinitis patients (AR) who were monosensitized to mixed HDMs, identified by SPT, is assayed using immunoblotting, chemiluminescence, and ImmunoCAP assays to compare between the accuracy of both immunoblotting and chemiluminescence assays, and ImmunoCAP as gold standard |
Diagnostic Test: Sensitization to House dust mites
The SPT is performed at the time of diagnosis and after six-months follow-up period. Serum specific IgE is measured by immunoblotting, chemiluminescence, and ImmunoCAP assays

- Reduction of serum specific IgE [6 months from diagnosis to end of Follow-up period]
Improvement of symptoms and signs of allergy
- Conversion of SPT to negative [6 months from diagnosis to end of Follow-up period]
