Allergen, Fungi and Molds, Aureobasidium pullulans IgG
Also known as: AUREO IGG
Use
The Allergen, Fungi and Molds, Aureobasidium pullulans IgG test is used to detect specific IgG antibodies to the mold Aureobasidium pullulans. This mold is commonly associated with allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, and measuring the level of IgG antibodies helps in assessing exposure and immune response to this allergen. The test is particularly relevant for individuals presenting with symptoms related to mold exposure or those undergoing allergy evaluations.
Special Instructions
Please ensure collection of specimen in a Serum Separator Tube (SST). Serum must be separated from cells and transferred to an ARUP standard transport tube as soon as possible, ideally within 2 hours of collection. Refrigerated transport is recommended to maintain sample integrity. Refer to 'Allergen Specimen Collection Instructions' on ARUP's website for detailed guidelines.
Limitations
This test is a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and has not been cleared or approved by the US FDA. Results are not intended to diagnose or manage clinical conditions without consideration of the clinical presentation and other diagnostic information. Interference may occur with hemolyzed, icteric, or lipemic specimens, which are therefore not acceptable for testing.
