Silkworm pupa

The Silkworm pupa test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens derived from silk pupa proteins. These allergens can trigger allergic reactions when inhaled or exposed to the skin. Elevated IgE levels in response to silk pupa allergens indicate an allergic sensitivity, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is highly precise for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and informing further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
