This panel typically targets a wide range of common vegetarian food allergens such as wheat, soyabean, lemon, tomato, potato, rice, pineapple, peanut, lentils, olive and cow milk which can trigger allergies after consumption. 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.
