Functional assessment of allergic asthmatic children while asymptomatic.

abstract：:Immediate-hypersensitivity reactions related to latex products have increased rapidly in recent years. However, a reliable diagnosis is hampered by lack of purified and well characterized latex allergens. We have purified allergens in natural rubber latex (NRL) after SDS-PAGE by electroelution, and tested specific IgE...
