| Abstract |
3 workers with tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) sensitivity were evaluated for IgE antibodies over 13 months, using a radioallergosorbent test system. Antibody titres were elevated in 2 who experienced several bronchial hypersensitivity responses to TDI with or without cutaneous reactions during the study period. Antibody titres were low in a third subject who showed no such reactions during the study. In the absence of renewed TDI exposure, sensitive workers may have titres indistinguishable from those of non-sensitive TDI-workers. |
