Understanding Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA in Kolkata
What is Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA in Kolkata?
The Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA is a specialized blood test that helps detect total IgE and specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system using an immunoblotting technique (LIA). This panel screens for 107 common allergens including plants, animals, insects, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and various foods among others, helping doctors identify the exact substances causing allergic reactions. This panel is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Kolkata.
The Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA is performed when you experience allergy symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, skin rashes, hives, etc. This comprehensive panel may also be advised for individuals with a family history of allergies, allowing for personalized treatment plans and lifestyle adjustments.

What does Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA measure?
Contains 90 testsThe Allergy Panel (107 Allergens), LIA measures the amount of total IgE as well as specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood, which are produced by the immune system in response to various allergens. These allergens include a broad spectrum of 107 different allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and numerous food items like fruits, vegetables, sea foods, vegetarian foods, non vegetarian foods, antibiotics, insects venom etc. By detecting the specific IgE antibodies related to these allergens, the test provides valuable insights into an individual's allergic sensitivities, helping to identify which substances trigger allergic reactions. This comprehensive assessment is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of allergies, enabling personalized treatment plans and lifestyle adjustments to mitigate allergic symptoms and improve overall well-being.

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.
