What’s inside

View Research

Explore the CytoBas assay's accuracy in detecting house dust mite (HDM) sensitization in asthma and allergic rhinitis. This study highlights the use of fluorescent tetramers of Der p 1 and Der p 2 to stain specific IgE on basophils, achieving over 95% sensitivity and specificity. The CytoBas assay offers a rapid, reliable, and non-invasive method for diagnosing HDM allergies compared to conventional skin prick tests and serum IgE detection.
