What does Allergy - Vegetarian + Non-Vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?
Contains 23 testsThe Allergy - Vegetarian + Non-Vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP measures total and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood associated with allergic reactions to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food allergens. This comprehensive panel targets a range of triggers including common vegetarian allergens like wheat, rice, soyabean, cow milk, lemon, tomato, onion, garlic, pineapple, peanut, lentils, and olive, as well as non-vegetarian allergens like shrimp, cod fish, beef, pork, chicken meat, blue mussel, egg yolk, egg white, tuna and salmon. This panel utilized the ImmunoCAP assay, a highly accurate and sensitive procedure that provides quantitative measurement of IgE antibodies and helps accurately diagnose food allergies and assess 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.
