Abstract
Background: Wheat allergy has been suggested as one important allergic disease in urban and rural areas. Methods: In this study, total IgE were measured from 15 cases using Pharmacia CAP system IgE and Pharmacia CAP fluroroenzymeImmunoassay (FEIA). Specific IgE was measured using PhadiaImmuno CAP 250 and Immuno CAP 1000 system. We also assessed the protein allergenicity by western blotting. Results: Significant elevation of total and specific IgE was found in 4 cases. Basophilia was also shown by blood film. Western blotting result showed 2 bands as 20 and 60 KD. Conclusion: The result indicates that we should take wheat allergy in to account when discussing asthma and eczema in adult patient at Alkharj.
