The Ovomucoid IgE allergy test is conducted to detect allergenicity, specifically to cooked eggs. Clinically, such allergies can lead to cutaneous, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms. The allergen behind these reactions is ovomucoid, a glycoprotein with trypsin inhibitor activity. Healthcare professionals employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.

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