Abstract
Rapid, specific and reproducible radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIP) for measuring IgG antibodies against Yellow Jacket Venom (YJV) was developed. The YJV-l125 is added to serum sample and the immune complexes are precipitated by a second antibody with polyethylene glycol. IgG antibodies were measured by RIP in 24 patients receiving YJV immunotherapy. RIP assays were compared for 159 sera to a solid phase procedure (RAST [radioallergosorbent test] IgG).
