LOINC short name : MIA IgE Ql IA;
LOINC description : This term was created for (but not limited to) Siemen's Immulite 2000 AlaTOP allergy
screen, a chemiluminescent enzyme-labeled sequential immunoassay used to qualitatively
detect IgE antibodies specific to inhalant allergens in serum. The AlaTOP constituents
usually include the following 12 allergens: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (dust mite),
cat epithelium, dog dander, Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Phleum pretense (timothy
grass), Penicillium notatum, Alternaria tenuis, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed),
Plantago lanceolata (English plantain), Parietaria officinalis (wall pelitory), Betula
papyrifera (paper birch), and Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) (Source: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/reports/pdfs/2005-0248-3077.pdf)
The Phadiatop assay has a fixed set of allergens that is not stated by the manufacturer
(http://www.jiaci.org/issues/vol15issue02/7.pdf), but probably contains a similar
subset of components. Test results are determined by the calculation of a signal to
cutoff (S/CO) ratio, which is calculated automatically by the instrument. The results
are reported as indeterminate (ratio between 0.9 and 1.1), reactive (ratio of 1.1)
and nonreactive (ratio of 0.9).;
