METHOD FOR PREDICTING SEVERITY OF ALLERGIC REACTION

摘要

The present invention provides methods for determining a likelihood of a degree of allergic reaction or a severity thereof using a threshold value rather than the binding activity number between the immunoglobulin of the subject and a test composition comprising a marker protein moiety of the allergy inducing material. In one particular embodiment of the invention, methods are provided for determining a likelihood of a degree of allergic reaction severity of a subject to peanuts using a threshold value of binding between immunoglobulin E (IgE) of the subject and Ara h 2 moiety and Ara h 6 moiety.
