IgE Antibody Measurements in Ragweed Hay Fever RELATIONSHIP TO CLINICAL SEVERITY AND THE RESULTS OF IMMUNOTHERAPY
AUTOR(ES)

RESUMO
Specific IgE anti-ragweed antibodies (IgEAR) were measured over two years in two groups of highly sensitive patients treated (immunized) with either ragweed extract or placebo and in a third group of placebo-treated, relatively insensitive patients. The IgEAR on the patients' basophils were assessed by ragweed antigen E (AgE)-induced histamine release; blocking (IgG) antibodies were measured by their ability to inhibit AgE induced histamine release. These data were evaluated against the clinical severity of ragweed hay fever in each patient.
