Abstract
A double-antibody radioimmunoassay for measurement of grass pollen antigen-specific IgG in human serum is described. Grass pollen antigens were used to show a correlation between results obtained by this method and those obtained by measuring blocking antibodies by inhibition of antigen-induced leukocyte histamine release. The new technique described is convenient, sensitive, specific and reproducible and can be recommended for clinical use.Keywords
