Allergen Profile, Food−Vegetable II
Use
The Allergen Profile, Food−Vegetable II test is designed to quantitatively measure specific IgE antibodies to a panel of food allergens commonly found in vegetables, including kidney bean, carrot, green bean, green pea, onions, potato, soybean, summer squash, and tomato. This test aids in the diagnosis of allergic sensitivity, which is crucial for the management of allergic disorders, including respiratory and food allergies. Accurate identification of specific IgE antibodies provides better clinical insight into potential allergens that may be causing symptoms, allowing for more personalized allergy management strategies.

Limitations
While this test is designed to detect specific IgE antibodies to a range of vegetable allergens, it may not rule out other potential allergenic sources not covered by the panel. Cross-reactivity to homologous proteins in non-tested items may occur, which could influence results. The quantitative levels of IgE do not always correlate directly with clinical symptoms; thus, test results should be interpreted in the context of a thorough clinical evaluation. It is important to note that certain environmental or pre-analytical factors, such as hemolysis, may impact the accuracy of this test.
