Test Name Alias
Allergen | ImmunoCAP | Allergen Specific IgE | RAST | Paper Wasp | Allergen Paper Wasp Component rPol d 5
Clinical Information
Venom allergy diagnosis is supported by detection of sIgE antibodies using whole extracts or individual allergenic venom proteins. Identifying sIgE responses to specific molecular targets with component resolved diagnostics (CRD) helps fine-tune the diagnosis by distinguishing species-specific, co-reactive, or cross-reactive sensitizations. An accurate diagnosis, in turn, facilitates treatment, including prescription of venom immunotherapy (VIT).
Ordering Instructions
