AB - This article reviews in vitro testing in the 1990s. Several tests remain standards. In the United States, modified radioallergosorbent test (RAST) scoring is performed by either a RAST or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method; in Europe, Phadebas RAST (Kabi Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, NJ) scoring is more popular. Newer quantitative tests reviewed include the Ala STAT, MAST, and CAP testing systems (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, NJ). Qualitative test screens include the Phadiatop microscreen (Kabi Pharmacia Diagnostics, Piscataway, NJ) and Quidel dipstick multiscreen (Quidel Corp., San Diego, CA). The newer tests produce results in 1 day or less. Test correlation with in vivo methods, including skin endpoint titration and skin prick testing is good. Current in vitro test methods are safe, cost-effective, expeditious, and accurate for use in the diagnosis and treatment of IgE-mediated allergic disease.
