Understanding Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP in Pune
What is Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP in Pune?
An Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP is used to identify specific nut allergies. Nut allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a nut. This panel determines your immune response by measuring the amount of specific antibodies (specific proteins) called IgE against common nuts. In addition, this panel also checks for Total IgE antibodies. By measuring IgE antibodies, a Total IgE helps identify allergic reactions and immune responses against these nut allergens. This panel can be ordered when you experience allergy associated symptoms such as tingling sensation, swelling, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, itching, wheezing, breathing problem, congestion, rapid pulse, dizziness, etc. Identifying the specific nuts that cause an allergic reaction can help you better manage your condition and health. No fasting is required for this panel. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, clinical history, a record of information about an individual's health is needed at the time of sample collection.

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.
