Subset A: five serum samples from the asthma group, showing high values of total Phadiatop sIgE levels but meanwhile 5 to 10 times lower levels of allergen mix sIgE although they were both positive by Phadiatop and previous ImmunoCAP assays; Subset B: eight serum samples from the asthma group, mono-positive to mx2 but negative by Phadiatop, with mx2 sIgE levels between 0.35 and 0.90 kUA/L, and total Phadiatop sIgE level largely between 0.10 and 0.35 kUA/L; Subset C: seven serum samples from the non-asthma group were Phadiatop-positive but tested negative for allergen mix. hx2, house dust mix; mx2, molds and yeasts mix; tx4, tree pollen mix; wx5, weed mix.
