Influence of Omalizumab on Allergen-Specific IgE in Patients with Adult Asthma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) is used for in vitro diagnosis of drug hypersensitivity reactions. While its specificity is over 90%, sensitivity is limited and depends on the type of reaction, drug and possibly time interval between the event and analysis. Removal of regulatory T cells (Treg/CD25(h...
