  • (n.) Anger or vexation; rage.
  • (v. i.) To wander about; to saunter; to talk incoherently.

  • (12) Furthermore, by RAST we were able to determine that cotton top tamarin urine and newborn cotton top tamarin dander had antigens that reacted with IgE in the serum of the affected patients.
  • (13) Thus, a reasonable basis exists for the concept that in the evolutionary scheme there emerged genetically endowed humans with the potential for mounting immediate hypersensitivity responses to multicellular and complex antigenic particulates and animal and plant products, e.g., pollens and danders; hence the atopic state, allergic reactivity and the eosinophil.
  • (14) Comparison of intracutaneous skin tests and RAST in 2 groups of patients, one consisting of 16 individuals having multiple allergies to pollen, mold and animal dander and the other of 10 patients allergic to mold only, revealed that skin tests were more sensitive than RAST.
  • (15) The results show a good immunologic response with a standardized dog dander and hair extract.
  • (16) The patient presented a polyvalent IgE sensitization in prick skin tests and RAST to several animals' dander and epithelia, but RAST inhibition experiments showed a cross-reactivity only between fallow deer and horse allergen extracts.
  • (17) And when Romney said that his proposed alternative retained several provisions of Obama's act, such as healthcare cover for pre-existing conditions and allowing young people to remain on their parents' policies, lawyer Jerry Schreiber's dander was up.
  • (18) Urine and dander extracts were found to contain only low levels of AgR1 and its presence in urine was as a contaminant due to mode of collection--it was not present in urine collected directly from the bladder.
  • (19) Following discontinuation of exposure to dog dander, he continued to have symptoms, considerably in excess of his findings prior to dog dander exposure.
  • (20) Patch tests reactions to human dander were positive in 120 of 181 (66%) patients with atopic dermatitis, in two of 28 (7%) patients with allergic contact dermatitis, and in one of 31 (3%) normal controls.
