title: Trimodality of serum Dermatophagoides farinae-specific IgE RAST levels in atopic dermatitis patients.
abstract: Serum Dermatophagoides farinae-specific IgE RAST (DF IgE) levels were assayed in 122 atopic dermatitis patients at the first examination. From the statistical study, we found trimodality of the individual variability of serum DF IgE levels. We hypothesize that serum DF IgE levels may be controlled by a pair of allelic genes.
