What does Allergy - Adult Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?
Contains 29 testsThe immune system is your body's most significant defense system against infections. You can have allergic reactions when your immune system overreacts to certain substances, such as food, pollen, medicines, and animal dander. However, these do not cause similar allergic reactions in other people. If not taken seriously, sometimes they can be life-threatening. Therefore, identifying these substances and taking timely precautions and treatment is essential to avoid severe complications.
An Allergy - Adult Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP offers 29 test parameters that help examine Total IgE and 28 different allergens, such as food, dust, grass, trees, animals, molds, etc, that can cause allergic reactions in the body. These tests help your doctor develop a treatment plan to address serious health challenges your body may face.
Total IgE
Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.
Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

Food Panel
The Food Panel measures the body's immune response to specific food allergens, including egg whites, soybean, peanut, wheat, cod fish, shrimp/prawns, blue mussel, and cow milk. By analyzing the immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in reaction to these allergens, the test helps identify food sensitivities and allergic reactions. Detecting elevated levels of IgE antibodies to these foods can confirm an allergy, allowing for accurate diagnosis and management of allergic conditions. Getting tested helps guide dietary adjustments and treatment plans to prevent adverse reactions and ensure overall well-being.
