Diagnostic utility of the basophil activation test in natto-induced hypersensitivity

Allergology International, 2022
Background: Natto (fermented soybeans)-induced hypersensitivity is characterized by delayed symptom onset that hampers diagnosis. We aimed to clarify the clinical utility of the basophil activation test (BAT) in the diagnosis of natto-induced ...

Basophil activation test compared to skin prick test and fluorescence enzyme immunoassay for aeroallergen-specific Immunoglobulin-E

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2012
Background Skin prick test (SPT) and fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) are widely used for the diagnosis of Immunoglobulin-E (IgE)-mediated allergic disease. Basophil activation test (BAT) could obviate disadvantages of SPT and FEIA.

Positive basophil activation test with soymilk protein identifies Gly m 4–related soymilk allergy

Journal of Cutaneous Immunology and Allergy, 2021
Soymilk allergy is caused by cross‐reaction of either birch Bet v 1–specific or alder Aln g 1–specific IgE to soybean Gly m 4, which belongs to pathogenesis‐related protein‐10 (PR‐10) family.

Influence of Antihistamines on Basophil Activation Test in Food Allergy to Milk and Egg

Diagnostics, 2020
Background: The basophil activation test (BAT) is used to improve the accuracy of food allergy diagnosis. To date, the influence of antiallergic drugs on BAT reactivity is poorly investigated.
