IgE Allergy, Live Oak
Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is used for coffee, oil and food purposes. Oak pollen is a major cause of asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. Exposure to Oak dust can cause sore throat and trigger bronchial hyperresponsiveness. This test detects specific IgE antibodies involved in causing such allergic reactions. Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and […]
IgE Allergy, Lettuce
Lettuce is a widely used vegetable having four protein bands known to exhibit IgE-binding properties, which can cause cross-reactivity among the different individual species Systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur following lettuce ingestion, with various immunoglobulin (Ig)-E binding proteins identified in lettuce allergy. This test detects specific IgE antibodies involved in causing such allergic diseases. […]
IgE Allergy, Firebush
The Firebush allergy test is utilized to evaluate sensitization and allergenicity to pollen derived from the ornamental plant Hamelia pattens, commonly known as firebush. Pollen, serving as aeroallergens, contributes to the development of respiratory allergic conditions, particularly asthma and rhinitis. Healthcare professionals employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and offer guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Important […]
IgE Allergy, Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme mixture derived from pineapples, known to induce sensitivities leading to type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, producing IgE antibodies. These antibodies cause allergic symptoms from mild gastrointestinal symptoms to atopy or occasionally severe manifestations such as anaphylaxis upon exposure. Healthcare professionals employ this test to assess allergic status and provide guidance for allergen-specific […]
Allergen IgE, Profile
The IgE allergen profile test serves as a comprehensive tool for identifying allergies in individuals who may have type I hypersensitivity reactions mediated by antibodies belonging to the IgE class of immunoglobulins. It is a multi-allergen semi quantitative testing system that detects an individual’s Total IgE and specific IgE reactivity across a diverse array of […]
IgE Allergy: Wheat
The IgE allergy test for wheat is used to evaluate its allergenicity. Clinical manifestations include urticaria or angioedema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, abdominal pain, vomiting, acute exacerbation of atopic dermatitis, and exercise-induced anaphylaxis. The triggering allergen is Tri a. Healthcare professionals employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Important note: Minimum […]
IgE Allergy: Western Ragweed
The IgE allergy test for Western ragweed is employed to assess allergenicity to the weed known as Western ragweed. The aeroplant allergen Amb p is responsible for triggering allergic reactions, clinically manifesting as allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, eustachian tube dysfunction, and asthma. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Important […]
IgE Allergy: Weed Panel 7
The allergy test for Weed Panel 7 is utilized to identify sensitivity to aeroallergens, including oxeye daisy, dandelion, English plantain, lamb’s quarters, and golden rod. Clinically, these allergens can induce allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and asthma. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. Weed Panel 7: W7 Ox-Eye […]
IgE Allergy: Weed Panel 6
The allergy test for Weed Panel 6 is utilized to identify sensitivity to aero plant allergens, including English plantain, lamb’s quarters, Russian thistle, and sheep sorrel. Clinically, these allergens can induce allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria, and asthma. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine allergic status and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. Weed Panel 6: W9 English Plantain […]
IgE Allergy: Weed Panel 5
The allergy test for Weed Panel 5 is utilized to identify allergenicity to aeroallergens, including common ragweed, mugwort, oxeye daisy, dandelion, and golden rod. Clinically, these allergens can induce allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and asthma. Healthcare professionals use this test to diagnose sensitivity, and guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. Weed Panel 5: W1 Common Ragweed W6 […]
