TI  - Studies of serum total immunoglobulin E concentrations in atopic and non-atopic 
      dogs.
PG  - 159-63
AB  - The serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentrations of two groups of atopic 
      dogs and three groups of non-atopic dogs were compared. There was a wide range of 
      concentrations with a high degree of overlap between the groups. The serum total 
      IgE concentrations of a group of 15 non-atopic racing greyhounds were 
      significantly higher than those of all the other groups. Atopic and non-atopic 
      dogs receiving stringent parasite control treatments could not be differentiated 
      on the basis of their serum total IgE concentrations. In the non-atopic dogs 
      there was no correlation between their serum total IgE concentrations and the 
      number of allergen-specific positive results obtained in an ELISA, or between 
      their serum total IgE concentrations and their age.
