Abstract
We describe a two-site micro ELISA system for rapid, automatic and quantitative measurement of total IgE in mouse serum, that is based upon a hybridoma IgE standard and heterologous anti-IgE antibodies. With this method we determined the absolute total IgE concentration in the serum of aging athymic nude mice and their heterozygous litter mates.
