Date palms produce flowers with pollen containing Pho-d-2 profilin proteins acting as an allergen known to induce type 1 IgE hypersensitivity on exposure through nasal inhalation or direct contact, manifesting with gastrointestinal symptoms, anaphylaxis, and atopic dermatitis. Healthcare professionals employ this test to ascertain a patient’s allergic status and provide guidance for immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
