| Abstract |
Serum samples from 160 patients with established isocyanate-induced asthma and from 25 controls were used in a study of the selectivity of the radioallergosorbent test (RAST). False-positive values were attributed to the different selectivities of various reagents studied. At RAST-values above 0.35U/mL no false-positive results were obtained. |
