New dot-blot method for evaluating the effect of inactivators on mite and Japanese cedar pollen allergens

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2021 Sep 22;85(10):2089-2092. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbab146.

Abstract

As a method of evaluating the effect of inactivators on allergens while suppressing the effect of inactivator on the assay, we developed new dot-blot method that combines immunostaining and protein detection methods. This method is useful for evaluating whether the inactivator can inactivate allergens rather than removing them from the assay.
