[Role of genetic blood markers (ABO-HLA systems) in the formation of increased sensitivity to occupational allergen epichlorohydrin]. / Rol' geneticheskikh markerov krovi ABO-HLA-sistem v formirovanii povyshennoi chuvstvitel'nosti organizma k proizvodstvennomu allergenu épikhlorgidrinu.

The authors demonstrated that genetic factors play the certain role in hypersensitivity to occupational allergen epichlorohydrin. The sensibilized workers demonstrated higher incidence of individuals with OB (III) blood group and having phenotypic B8 antigen of HLA-system.

[A method for isolating a complex epoxide-containing antigen and its use for the diagnosis of allergic diseases]. / Sposob polucheniia époksidsoderzhashchego kompleksnogo antigena i ego ispol'zovanie dlia diagnostiki allergicheskikh zabolevanii.

Specific complex antigen, based on human serum albumin and epichlorhydrine was proved to be useful in the diagnosis of individual hypersensitivity to the epoxide pitches and epichlorhydrine. Lymphocytes' blast transformation with 3H-timidine was proved to be the most sensitive reaction in the use of specific complex antigen during the diagnosis. The stated immune reaction can be used for the diagnosis of allergy before the clinical manifestations.
