A micro-ELISA, using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-canine IgE and polystyrene microtitration wells for detection of allergen-specific IgE in canine serum, was developed. Specificity of anti-canine IgE was confirmed by reversed cutaneous anaphylaxis evaluations, gel-precipitation reactions, immunoelectrophoresis, immunoaffinity chromatography, and heat inactivation. Individual allergen blanks were used to account for variable nonspecific binding among various allergens, and results were normalized using 4 reference sera. Coefficients of variation for intra-assay and interassay variability ranged from 0.77 to 5.66% and 3.15 to 9.83%, respectively. Results observed with wells coated with mixtures of various allergen extracts yielded results approximately equal to results (average) of wells containing individual components. Agreement between ELISA and skin test results ranged from 43 to 64%, depending on allergen used.
