What does Allergy - Common Food Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?
Contains 16 testsThe Allergy - Common Food Panel, ImmunoCAP is a diagnostic procedure utilized to identify specific food allergies by measuring immunoglobulin E (IgE) and total IgE antibodies in the blood. This panel typically targets a range of 15 common food allergens such as wheat, rice, soybean, peanut, orange, peach, apple, banana, chicken, egg white, fish, shrimp, chickpea, lentils, and cow milk that can trigger allergies. The ImmunoCAP assay is highly precise and sensitive, providing quantitative measurements of IgE antibodies, which aids healthcare professionals in accurately diagnosing food allergies and assessing their severity.

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.
