abstract The present work aims to be a comparative study of the<br />

clinical value of results between two methods for the<br />

laboratory diagnosis of allergic disease, the method<br />

ImmunoCAP IgE ISAC (Immuno Solid Phase Allergen<br />

Chip) and the traditional method ELISA (Enzyme Linked<br />

Immunosorbent Assay) specific IgE <strong>de</strong>termination. In<br />

a sample population of individuals with ISAC`s<br />

requests, was carried out the assay of specific IgE<br />

antibodies by ELISA`s method to assess the support of<br />

both methods in the diagnosis of allergic disease. By<br />

ISAC`s method, was possible to i<strong>de</strong>ntify patients with<br />

cross-reactivity, that would have gone unnoticed by<br />

the ELISA`s method.<br />
