Tus-Ter-lock immuno-PCR assays for the sensitive detection of tropomyosin-specific IgE antibodies [PDF]
Background: The increasing prevalence of food allergies requires development of specific and sensitive tests capable of identifying the allergen responsible for the disease. The development of serologic tests that can detect specific IgE antibodies to allergenic proteins would therefore be highly received.
