Allergy - Adult Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP near me in Noida

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.

The allergy Dust Panel is a comprehensive test used to identify allergic reactions to common household allergens, including house dust, house dust mites, and German cockroaches. This panel measures the body's immune response by detecting specific IgE antibodies produced in reaction to these allergens. House dust consists of a variety of particles, such as fabric fibers, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, which can trigger allergic reactions. House dust mites, microscopic organisms that thrive in warm, humid environments, are a major component of house dust and a common cause of allergic rhinitis and asthma. German cockroaches, on the other hand, prevalent in many households, produce allergens in their saliva, feces, and body parts, which can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory conditions. By evaluating the presence of IgE antibodies against these specific allergens, the Dust Panel helps in the accurate diagnosis and management of allergy symptoms, guiding appropriate treatment and preventive measures.

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.
