title: Assessment of a self-contained solid phase enzyme linked immunoassay (ImmunoComb) for the determination of serum total IgE.
abstract: A semiquantitative method (ImmunoComb) for measuring total serum IgE is described and compared with a standard radioimmunoassay (PRIST). ImmunoComb, based on a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay, is self-sufficient and does not require any expensive laboratory equipment. Comparison of these two assays revealed an almost absolute agreement between them (correlation coefficient = 0.95). Furthermore, the ImmunoComb assay also demonstrated its rapidity and temperature independence while maintaining a recovery of 90% to 102%.
