Evolution of standardization of therapeutic and diagnostic allergens produced in Russia by S. S. Masalskiy, E. I. Sakanyan, M. A. Yasnaya

“…A method of competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using specific sera containing specific IgE antibodies is used for this purpose.In addition, the specific activity of allergen preparations is certified through three additional characteristics: total protein content (using the Bradford method), protein profile (through electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide gel with sodium dodecyl sulfate under reducing conditions), and authenticity through the presence of major specific components, which is determined by the Western blot method using sera containing IgE antibodies specific for the corresponding allergen.Currently, in the Russian Federation, the standardization of therapeutic and diagnostic allergens is conducted simultaneously according to two indicators: protein nitrogen content, expressed in Protein Nitrogen Units (PNU), and allergenic (specific) activity expressed in units of allergenic activity per milliliter (EAA/ml). …”
