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 Wheat ( Gehon / Triticum aestivum) test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies against wheat (gehon proteins. This test is a highly sensitive and accurate way to detect IgE antibodies, helping to assess the severity of the allergic reaction and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Egg White (Anda) test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies against egg white (anda) proteins. This test is a highly sensitive and accurate way to detect IgE antibodies, helping to assess the severity of the allergic reaction and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Aspergillus Fumigatus test checks the levels of specific IgE antibodies against Aspergillus fumigatus. This test helps to see if the immune system is reacting to this common mold, which is important for diagnosing fungal infections like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), severe allergies with mold sensitivity (SAFS), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA), and allergic conditions like asthma, rhinitis, and others.

The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the aspergillus fumigatus allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Potato test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to potato proteins. This test is important for diagnosing potato allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Rice test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies produced against rice proteins. Elevated levels of these antibodies suggest an allergic response to rice. The test helps assess the severity of the allergy, which can guide treatment decisions and help determine how strictly the individual needs to avoid rice in their diet. It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Dermatophagoides Farinae test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens from Dermatophagoides farinae mites (a common house dust mite). The test helps evaluate the body's immune response to dust mites, which are often found in home environments. Elevated IgE levels in response to these mites indicate an allergic sensitivity, enabling doctors to diagnose and manage allergic reactions more accurately.

This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the house dust allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Cod Fish ( Machhli / Gadus morhua) test measures the level of IgE antibodies directed against proteins found in cod fish. This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the cod fish allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
