Multiplex Assays in Allergy Diagnosis: Allergy Explorer 2 versus ImmunoCAP ISAC E112i
Abstract
ImmunoCAP ISAC E112i (ISAC) and Allergy Explorer 2 (ALEX2) detect specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity. Both multiplex assays contain molecular allergens and ALEX2 additionally includes allergen extracts and inhibitors that block the binding of IgE to cross-reacting carbohydrate determinants (CCDs). This study aimed to compare the performance of ISAC and ALEX2 by determining the IgE reactivity against allergen extracts and/or allergen components and by using qualitative, semiquantitative, and quantitative analyses of all comparable allergen components in sera from 216 participants recruited in South Tyrol/Italy. For extract sensitization in ALEX2, the analysis revealed negative corresponding allergen components in 18.4% and at least one positive corresponding allergen component in 81.6% of all cases. For ISAC, the corresponding results were 23.5% and 76.5% of cases, respectively. The ALEX2 CCD inhibitor eliminated CCD-positive signals detected by ISAC in 88.5% of cases. Based on sensitization values of 0.3–14.9 ISU or kUA/L, there was good agreement between ALEX2 and ISAC, although ALEX2 showed higher values than ISAC. The addition of allergen-extract tests in ALEX2 resulted in the detection of more sensitizations than with corresponding allergen components alone. In the range of <15 ISU or kUA/L, ALEX2 may be more effective in detecting sensitizations.

“Unlike ISAC, ALEX includes cross-reactivity inhibition, which minimizes false positives from panallergens like profilins and CCDs (cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants) [201].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
