摘要
The Pharmacia CAP system is a new assay for specific IgE characterized by a new solid phase (hydrophilic polymer encased in a capsule). The CAP results were compared to those of the Phadebas IgE RAST and skin-prick tests (SPT) performed in 145 subjects suffering from rhinitis and/or asthma with eight common inhalant allergens (total number of tests = 1160). Concording CAP/RAST results were found in 91% of the tests. The CAP was positive in 78% and the RAST in 65% of the positive SPT. Conversely, the CAP was negative in 90.6% and the RAST in 96.4% of the negative SPT. A pattern 'negative SPT, negative RAST and positive CAP' was found in 56 tests (40 subjects): in four such subjects, the CAP positivity was confirmed by a positive IgE crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis. Three borderline positive results were found among 240 negative controls (serum from cord blood or non-atopics). These data indicate that compared with SPT the CAP system is (a) more sensitive than the Pharmacia RAST and (b) does not seem less specific.
