ABSTRACT
By using three different skin testing techniques and RAST, this study explores the relationship among house dust, mite (Dermatophagoides farinae) and cockroach allergy in atopic patients in the Kansas City area. Results suggest that the cockroach antigen may be as important as the mite in the etiology of house dust allergy in this population.

ABSTRACT
Laser nephelometry was used to measure specific antibody to lamb's quarters antigen. It was demonstrated that the same specific antibody detected by indirect hemagglutination could readily be measured by this sensitive technique. Current investigations are being conducted to determine if this system might be validated for the measurement of blocking antibody in human serum.
