Allergy to Platanus Acerifolia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Biological Standardization of Platanus Acerifolia Allergen Extract to Determine the Biological Activity in HEP Units.
The objective of this study is to determine the biologic activity of a Platanus acerifolia allergen extract in histamine equivalent prick (HEP) units, in order to be used as in-house reference preparation (IHRP).
This is an open, unblinded and non-randomized biological assay. The study design is a slight
modification of the recommendations proposed by the Nordic Guidelines.
Four concentrations of Platanus acerifolia allergen extract, together with a positive and
negative control, using 10 mg/ml histamine dihydrochloride solution and a glycerinated phenol
saline solution, respectively, will be tested in every patient in duplicate on the volar
surface of the forearm.
