Abstract
Disclosed is a convenient and effective means for quantifying an antigen-specific canine or human IgE. Specifically disclosed is a method for quantifying an antigen-specific canine IgE, which comprises the following steps (A) to (D): (A) contacting a biological sample collected from a subject with an antigen to conjugate IgE contained in the sample with the antigen; (B) measuring the quantity of IgE in a standard sample collected from an experimental animal which is different from the subject and has been sensitized with the same antigen as that used in step (A) by using a substance capable of recognizing both IgE from the subject and IgE from the experimental animal, thereby producing a standard curve; (C) detecting a conjugate formed in step (A) by using the same substance capable of recognizing both IgE from the subject and IgE from the experimental animal as that used in step (B); and (D) determining the quantity of IgE in the biological sample collected from the subject by utilizing the quantity of the conjugate detected in step (C) and the standard curve produced in step (B). Also specifically disclosed is a method for quantifying an antigen-specific human IgE.
