%X Allergen measurements are widely used for determination of the potency of allergy
vaccines, for environmental exposure assessments, and for validation of IgE molecular
diagnostics. With the exception of Bet v 1 and Phl p 5a, few purified allergen standards
have been developed. The aim of this study was to produce purified allergen standards,
with defined specifications, that could serve as Molecular Reference Materials (MRM)
for use in allergy diagnostics, enzyme- or fluorescent immunoassays, and multiplex
arrays.
