Quantitative development trend of allergen detection

Allergen testing for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases is essential, with the development of detection technology, automatic quantitative detection technology has become an important means of allergen detection and development trend. Compared with qualitative test, quantitative test can be more accurate in the diagnosis of allergic diseases, and can more effectively reflect the incidence of allergy, predict the occurrence and prognosis of the disease, and monitor the treatment effect. Therefore, although there are still many challenges in the quantitative detection of allergens, the automatic quantification of allergen detection is still an inevitable trend.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 971-974) Key words: Allergens; Hypersensitivity; Immunoglobulin E
