Diagnostic and therapeutic applications of a modified radioallergosorbent test and comparison with the conventional radioallergosorbent test

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1981
Abstract A modified radioallergosorbent test (RAST) assay and scoring system (Fadal/Nalebuff RAST) have been purported to increase the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of the RAST. In order to assess such claims, we compared this modified RAST with the conventional Phadebas RAST in 40 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Efficacy of a Screening Radioallergosorbent Test

JAMA Otolaryngology, 1982
Controversy over the routine use of the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) for initial inhalant allergy diagnosis largely concerns expense to the patient. Presented is a method for utilizing the RAST, with all its inherent advantages, at a competitive cost to both negatively and positively responding patients.

Skin Test and Radioallergosorbent Test Characteristics of Scabietic Patients

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997
The scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei and the Dermatophagoides house dust mites (HDM) are related phylogenetically and are the sources of several cross-reactive antigens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immune response to S. scabiei and HDM in scabietic patients. Skin test sensitivity and serum IgE to both S.

A modified technique for the radioallergosorbent test

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1976
A modification of the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) is described utilizing a multiple automated sample harvester. The technique increases the efficiency of the procedure by shortening the time required for its performance. A study is reported in which this method is compared to that recommended by the manufacturer.

The radioallergosorbent test with a purified allergen from codfish

Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 1973
SummaryThe radioallergosorbent test (RAST) was performed with a purified allergen (DS 22) from cod, coupled to CNBr‐activated cellulose discs. A 100% correlation was found between a positive RAST and the presence of clinical allergy to cod in fifty‐six children as compared to a negative RAST in all sera from fifty‐six allergic children tolerating fish.

Correlation of Modified Radioallergosorbent Test Scores and Skin Test Results

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1996
In addition to a significantly increased sensitivity as compared with the initial Phadebas radioallergosorbent test, a major advantage of the Fadal‐Nalebuff modified RAST is its correlation with skin testing using skin end point titration. This correlation allows physicians to use both these modalities in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic ...

Lectins and the radioallergosorbent test

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1987
An investigation into the possible role of lectin binding of IgE in RAST of legume and wheat extracts is reported. Lectins from pea, broad bean, lentil, jack bean, soybean, peanut, and wheat germ were coupled to RAST discs. The discs were pretreated with lectin-specific sugars in an attempt to inhibit RAST with sera from 11 sensitive patients.
