[Evaluation of the biological activity of allergens by different in vivo and in vitro immunological methods]. / Otsenka biologicheskoi aktivnosti allergenov razlichnymi immunologicheskimi metodami in vivo i in vitro.

The specific activity of different allergens has been studied in vivo and in vitro by certain immunological methods (complement inactivation, mastocyte degranulation, neutrophil damage index, lymphocyte blast transformation). The results obtained by the skin allergic tests have been found to correlate well with those obtained by the in vitro methods. This allows one to use these methods for a more complete characterization of allergens and their standardization.
