SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE IMMUNOSENSOR FOR DIAGNOSING ALLERGY DISEASE AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING ALLERGY DISEASE USING THE SAME

摘要

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) immunosensor for diagnosing allergy disease includes one or more SAW devices on each of which allergens derived from one allergy-causing substance are fixed and an allergen derived from another allergy-causing substance is not included, that is, allergens derived from different allergy-causing substances being fixed on different SAW devices; and a signal detector which detects an output signal from the SAW device. Also a method for diagnosing allergy disease is capable of measuring levels of allergen-specific IgE and total IgE in blood or another sample taken from a subject of diagnosis using a SAW immunosensor, the allergens being derived from various allergy-causing substances, thereby capable of effectively diagnosing allergy disease for various allergy-causing substances.
