Allergy may be difficult to diagnose and skin tests are not
always sufficient for confirmation.
In vitro cellular tests have been shown as an efficient
alternative for several years. During the last decade the flow
cytometric Basophil Activation Test (BAT) has been
developed as a new, quantitative more precise method. The
test has been well documented and few ready to use tools
have been developed. The lymphocyte activation test for drug
allergy will also be discussed.
Inter laboratory and intersystem reproducibility of the tests
needs to be established, and they have to be validated for
clinical utility.
This meeting aims to bring together academic biologists,
clinicians and industrial scientists involved in flow cytometry
in allergy to mature these tests for use in routine healthcare.
