Data obtained using Pharmacia Phadebas® IgE PRIST for analysis of 466 carefully selected healthy children.
Correlation with the 1998 world-standard Pharmacia UniCAP Total IgE assay is excellent.
These figures are valid for Caucasian children and adults.
Other races will have different values, though these have not been formally established.
For example Negroid patients have a higher and wider range
PHARMACIA IMUNOCAP® RAST®
Units of Measurement
