Abstract
Three diagnostic extracts from European manufacturers and from Mexican providers which obtain extracts in US have a <50% relative potency compared to 10,000Â (B)AU/mL US extracts. Locally produced Mexican extracts have much lower total protein content and specific IgE binding capacity. These in vitro results must be complemented with other in vitro and in vivo skin prick tests to obtain a more complete picture of comparison of potency. Nevertheless results are quite consistent for the allergens tested here.
