(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.
