Abstract
This study was concerned with the correlation between skin test, bronchial provocation test, and histamine release from leucocytes and the serum level of total and allergen-specific IgE in patients atopic to house-dust mite allergen (Dermatophagiodes pteronyssinus) as measured by an intracutaneous skin test. It is concluded that, assuming a positive provocation test to be evidence of allergy, estimation of the allergen-specific IgE concentration in the serum will not offer any major advantages over the intradermal skin test in determining the clinical significance of house-dust mite allergy.

The results strongly support the hypothesis that reagins belong to the immunoglobulin class IgND, provisionally called IgND.

The finding of the house-dust mite seems to supply an answer to all factors, and the keystone of the theory is formed by the fact that after being made equivalent, extracts of house dust and mite cultures gave skin reactions which were both qualitatively and quantitatively indistinguishable.

This study was undertaken to confirm the high incidence of the ‘late’ bronchial reaction after house dust inhalation and to assess whether symptoms and signs of these ‘ late’ reactions were comparable with the clinical features of the classic Type III (Gell and Coombs) allergic reactions in the lung as shown by extrinsic allergic alveolitis.

Tests have been performed on the sera of patients with allergic asthma to castor-bean allergen and the probability is that the antibody measured was reagin, which follows from what is known about IgE, its heatlability, and the correlation with the clinical state of the patients and with passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reactions in the baboon.

Antibodies of the IgE class, as measured by RAST, were found against animal danders, pollens or house dust in 5 children at the first examination and during the follow‐up period in another 5 children, and seemed to be of clinical importance in all but a few cases with very low titres.

Leucocytes from allergic and most normal human donors release histamine when challenged with antibodies against human γ-globulin, and data suggest that cell bound IgE is of major importance in the in vitro anaphylactic response and that the direct and reversed in vitroAnaphylaxis reactions both operate through cell-bound IgE and share a common reaction mechanism.

The end point of intracutaneous testing provides a good indication of the serum level of allergen-specific IgE, and the lowest concentration of anti-IgE producing a positive skin reaction did not, however, correlate well with the IgE level in the serum.
