Skin testing outcome served as the clinical comparison method.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Interassay classification agreement between the IML and CAP, relative to the usual allergen-specific IgE cutoff of 0.35 kIU\/L, ranged from 76% (yellow jacket venom) to 95% (orchard grass); agreement was 88.3% for all 9 allergens combined (766 results). The 90 discordant results, when resolved by skin testing, showed better agreement with the IML (72%) than with the CAP (28%). Compared with skin testing, for each of the 9 allergens studied, the area under the ROC curve was at least as large for the IML as for the CAP, reflecting in part the more extensive working range of the IML (0.10\u2013100 kIU\/L vs 0.35\u2013100 kIU\/L for CAP).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion: Laboratory testing for sIgE can be performed on a fully automated, random-access system with an extended working range and with diagnostic accuracy for representative allergens equivalent to or better than that of the semiautomated CAP technology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1373\/clinchem.2004.046565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,20]],"date-time":"2005-05-20T00:25:13Z","timestamp":1116548713000},"page":"1241-1249","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Allergen-Specific IgE Measured by a Continuous Random-Access Immunoanalyzer: Interassay Comparison and Agreement with Skin Testing"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Markus","family":"Ollert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Biederstein,"},{"name":"Clinical Research Division of Molecular and Clinical Allergotoxicology, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Weissenbacher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Biederstein,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ju\u0308rgen","family":"Rakoski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Biederstein,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Ring","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Biederstein,"},{"name":"Division of Environmental Dermatology and Allergy GSF\/TUM, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020022800552538200_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Johansson SGO, Bieber T, Dahl R, Friedmann PS, Lanier BQ, Lockey RF, et al.
