In einer Scratchtestung wurde ebenfalls das native Material getestet.
The scratch test generated strongly positive reactions against native tube material.

As far as I know, this means that the test is performed with materials, substances, allergens in there original form. (p.ex. real food, undiluted/unprocessed substances, without solvents, alcohol, ..... )
So how I understand it it should read "epicutaneous test performed with native substances".

On epicutaneous testing, high molecular weight substances like food or latex proteins will at times give positive reactions only on previously involved or possibly even inflamed skin because of better penetration. Suspected foods often give positive skin reactions only with the **native substance** since commercial extracts are often unreliable. The choice of vehicle is also important: agents suspended in alcoholic solutions or suspensions cause more rapid and fleeting reactions whereas reactions to agents in vaseline last longer. Equivocal tests results should be repeated, simulating the exposure of the patient with the suspected agent.

Note from asker:
would that apply to tests with medications as well? Hier wurden nämlich Konservierungsstoffe, Externainhaltsstoffe und Glukocorticoide im Epikutantest eingesetz.

Thank you :))
agree casper (X) : a) Do you mean "native*ly*, Andrea? The word "nativ" is used an an adverb in the source text; b) If you're suggesting "native epicutaneous test", then I must confess I haven't come across this before.// Thanks :-)
