The broad use of proteomic studies and microarrays seems to prove that such diagnostic tests are useful in medicine and research on allergens, allergies, and other human diseases (Ellmark et al., 2008 Person et al., 2008). Likewise, miniaturization of analytical instruments, which profoundly enhances research potential, stimulates the development of these methods.
