Apricots contain allergenic proteins, mainly Pru p 3 and Pru p 1, belonging to the lipid transfer protein family, often associated with fruit allergies. Sensitization to these proteins can lead to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, which can manifest as GI complications, dermatitis, or severe anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers use this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy.

Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
