Use

This test is useful for establishing the diagnosis of an allergy to bovine serum albumin, defining the allergen responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms, identifying allergens responsible for allergic response or anaphylactic episodes, confirming sensitization prior to immunotherapy, and investigating the specificity of allergic reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens. The presence of IgE antibodies in serum increases the likelihood of allergic disease, while also indicating potential allergens causing symptoms.
