The IgE allergy test for bovine insulin is conducted to assess sensitivity and allergic reactions to bovine insulin in diabetic individuals, as it has a higher allergic potential. Symptoms of allergy can include cutaneous erythema, pruritus, and induration to urticaria, angioedema, and systemic anaphylaxis. Clinicians employ this test to determine sensitivity and allergic status and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.

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