title: Use of monoclonal anti-rat IgE in a radioimmunoassay for antigen specific rat IgE.
abstract: A monoclonal mouse anti-rat IgE, ELIVB5 (B5) was used in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) to detect antigen specific IgE in antisera from rats infected with a larval nematode. Binding of 125I-labeled B5 was specific for rat IgE and did not crossreact with human IgE. The RIA was used to demonstrate crossreactivity between antigens of closely related larval nematodes.
