RAST

Aka: RAST, RadioAllergoSorbent Test
  1. Efficacy
    1. Highly specific for allergans
    2. Lower Test Sensitivity than allergy Skin Testing
  2. Indications
    1. Not recommended for food, venom, or drug allergies
    2. Alternative to Skin Testing in certain cases
      1. Skin Testing contraindicated
      2. Interfering medications (e.g. Antihistamines)
      3. Age <3 years
    3. Allergy Testing for common allergans
      1. Pet dander
      2. Dust mites
      3. Pollen
      4. Mold spores
  3. Screen Contents
    1. June Grass and cross reacting grasses
      1. Rye
      2. Sweet Vernal
      3. Timothy
      4. Brome
    2. Oak Tree
    3. Short ragweed
    4. Alternaria mold
    5. Dust mite
    6. Cat
  4. Technique
    1. Allergen coupled to a paper disc
    2. Patient's serum is added to paper disc
    3. Antigen-Antibody forms in the case of allergy
    4. Radioactive anti-IgE added and complexes with above
    5. Gamma counter scores binding
  5. RAST Scoring
    1. Class 0: 200-750 (No significant allergy)
    2. Class 1: 750-1600 (Mild allergy)
    3. Class 2: 1600-3600 (Moderate allergy)
    4. Class 3: 3601-8000
    5. Class 4: 8001-18000
    6. Class 5: 18001-40000 (Most allergic)

Radioallergosorbent Test (C0034554)

Definition (NCI) A type of blood test used to test for allergies.
Definition (MSH) An in vitro allergen radioimmunoassay in which allergens are coupled to an immunosorbent. The coupled allergens bind the IgE in the sera of patients which in turn binds radioisotope-labeled anti-IMMUNOGLOBULIN E antibodies.
