IgE Allergy, Ascorbate Oxidase
Ascorbate oxidase, an enzyme involved in the oxidation of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), may trigger type 1 allergic reactions in some individuals who produce IgE antibodies. It may present with allergic GI manifestations, dermatitis, atopy with itching, swelling, or severe anaphylaxis in a few cases. Healthcare providers utilize this test to determine allergic status and […]
IgE Allergy, Arugula
Arugula and Eruca sativa contain allergenic proteins that can induce type 1 hypersensitivity reactions. Their sensitization can lead to the production of IgE antibodies. Upon subsequent exposure, these antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other mediators, causing allergic symptoms such as itching, hives, or anaphylaxis. Healthcare providers utilize this test to determine allergic status […]
IgE Allergy, Apricot
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 […]
IgE Allergy, Apple
Apples contain allergenic proteins primarily from the Mal d1 group, which are capable of triggering type 1 hypersensitivity reactions and producing IgE antibodies against Mal d1. These antibodies stimulate the release of histamine and mediators, causing allergic symptoms such as dermatitis with itching, swelling, and anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to determine allergic status […]
IgE Allergy, Anise
Anise flowering plant seeds are commonly used as a spice. Anise seeds are allergenic in some individuals, stimulating a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to proteins found in anise seeds. Exposure can happen through the consumption of seeds or through contact. It can lead to symptoms such as hives, itching, or anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals use this […]
IgE Allergy, Anisakis
Anisakis, a nematode parasite common in raw or undercooked fish, has a major allergen, Ani s1. Upon ingestion, larvae can penetrate the gastrointestinal tract, triggering a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. It can induce allergic responses such as abdominal pain, nausea, and sometimes severe anaphylaxis. Healthcare professionals use this test to determine allergic status and guide […]
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 72; feathers (budgerigar, parrot, canary)
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 72, feathers (budgerigar, parrot, and canary) tests allergic reactions to feather particles of budgerigar, parrot, and canary. Prolonged exposure leads to Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, which may include respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, cutaneous reactions, and ocular symptoms. Healthcare providers utilize this test to guide allergen-specific immunotherapy. […]
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 71; feathers (goose, chicken, duck, turkey)
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 71, feathers (goose, chicken, duck, turkey) tests allergic reactions to feather particles. Prolonged exposure leads to a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction presenting with respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or coughing, cutaneous reactions such as skin rash; hives; and ocular symptoms such as itchy and watery eyes. Healthcare professionals use […]
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 70 Epithelium (guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, rat, mouse)
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 70 epithelium (guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, rat, mouse) detects the immunogenicity of allergen particles derived from cells of the outer layer of the body, proteins found in the skin cells, saliva, and urine of animals. Prolonged exposure causes type 1 hypersensitivity reactions manifesting as rhinitis, asthma, conjunctivitis, food allergy, and anaphylaxis. […]
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 2: Dander (cat, dog) and Epithelium (guinea pig, rat, mouse)
IgE Allergy, Animal Panel 2 tests for dander (cat, dog) and epithelium (guinea pig, rat, mouse). Dander allergy is triggered when tiny, airborne pet dander is inhaled. Dander particles in the environment for extended periods cause prolonged exposure, leading to a Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction presenting with rhinitis, asthma, conjunctivitis, food allergy, and atopy. Healthcare […]
