title: [Importance of recombinant k82 in the diagnosis of latex allergy].
abstract: Measurement of IgEs keeps a predominant place in the diagnosis of allergy and in particular in certain pathologies such as those induced by dangerous allergens like, for example, latex. The contribution of recombinant allergens is a significant element in the measurement of IgEs and we have observed this for latex. Sensitivity of recombinant k82 is significantly greater than that of k82. It permits better detection of patients who are sensitised to latex and thus a better prevention by absence of frequent contact with latex gloves and detergents.
