We developed an IgE-capture ELISA and measured mosquito saliva-specific IgE antibodies in 27 children sensitive to mosquito bites. Children with large 15-min bite wheals had significantly higher (P < 0.0005) mosquito saliva-specific IgE levels than children with small wheals. In the latter group, the saliva-specific IgE level was significantly higher (P = 0.031) than the levels of six infants never exposed to mosquitoes. A positive correlation (r = 0.65; P = 0.0002) was found between the size of the 15-min wheal and the mosquito saliva-specific IgE antibody levels. These results further support the role of mosquito saliva-specific IgE antibodies in the pathogenesis of mosquito-bite whealing. Compared to immunoblotting, IgE-capture ELISA provides a quantitative method to measure mosquito saliva-specific IgE antibodies.
我们开发了一种IgE捕获酶联免疫吸附测定法,并检测了27名对蚊虫叮咬敏感的儿童体内的蚊虫唾液特异性IgE抗体。15分钟内叮咬风团大的儿童,其蚊虫唾液特异性IgE水平显著高于(P < 0.0005)风团小的儿童。在后一组中,唾液特异性IgE水平显著高于(P = 0.031)6名从未接触过蚊虫的婴儿。发现15分钟风团大小与蚊虫唾液特异性IgE抗体水平之间存在正相关(r = 0.65;P = 0.0002)。这些结果进一步支持了蚊虫唾液特异性IgE抗体在蚊虫叮咬风团发病机制中的作用。与免疫印迹法相比,IgE捕获酶联免疫吸附测定法提供了一种定量检测蚊虫唾液特异性IgE抗体的方法。
