Allergen Profile, Cat and Dog, IgE, With Reflex to Components
Use
Allergen component testing offers advantages over the use of a complete extract, especially in poly-sensitized individuals, given its usefulness for distinguishing between sensitizations specific to singular species and sensitizations due to cross-reactivity.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
While component IgE testing enhances allergy evaluations over whole extracts, these results require careful interpretation relative to the patient's clinical history. Cross-reactivity between allergens can complicate diagnosis and may not indicate clinical allergy to both cats and dogs without further clinical context.
Methodology
Immunoassay (ELISA)
