Table 1 Patient skin test reactions to allergens and allergens mixed with AS. Summary of patient skin prick responses to dog, cat, mite, Alternaria, and cockroach allergens. Responses to 100% allergen, 90% allergen + 10% diluent, 90% allergen + 10% ASα, or 90% allergen + 10% ASβ were scored as follows: (+) = 3 to 5 mm wheal; (++) = 5 to 7 mm wheal; (+++) = 7 to 10 mm wheal; (++++) = 10 mm or greater wheal; E = erythema; P = pseudopod.
Patient | Allergen Type | 100% Allergen | 90% Allergen + 10% Diluent | 90% Allergen + 10% AS α | 90% Allergen + 10% AS β |
