radioallergosorbent test

(RAST) [ra″de-o-al″er-go-sor´bent] a radioimmunoassay for the measurement of extremely small amounts of specific IgE antibody to a variety of allergens in the serum of a patient, using an allergen complex fixed in a solid-phase matrix, passing the serum over the matrix so the allergen can catch and bind specific IgE antibodies, and detecting the antibody using radiolabeled anti–human IgE antibody. Uptake of the labeled antibody is proportional to the level of specific serum IgE antibodies to the allergen. RAST is used as an alternative to skin tests to determine sensitivity to suspected allergens.

ra·di·o·al·ler·go·sor·bent test (RAST),

a radioimmunoassay test to detect specific IgE antibodies responsible for hypersensitivity: the allergen is bound to insoluble material and the patient's serum is reacted with this conjugate; if the serum contains antibody to the allergen, it will be complexed to the allergen. Radiolabeled anti-human IgE antibody is added where it reacts with the bound IgE. The amount of radioactivity is proportional to the serum IgE.

radioallergosorbent test

An allergy test on peripheral blood that assesses allergic sensitivity to specific substances. See RAST.

(RAST) (rā'dē-ō-al'ĕr-gō-sōr'bĕnt test) A radioimmunoassay-based procedure to detect IgE-bound allergens responsible for tissue hypersensitivity: the allergen is bound to insoluble material and the patient's serum is reacted with this conjugate; if the serum contains antibody to the allergen, it will be complexed to the allergen.
