Allergen (IgG), EIA–Tea
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test measures the body's immune response by detecting IgG antibodies to tea via an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), which may indicate exposure or sensitization to tea proteins. However, IgG-based tests are not diagnostic for allergies, and results should be interpreted alongside clinical history and other diagnostic methods.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
IgG testing for allergies lacks specificity and is not considered reliable for diagnosing allergic reactions. High IgG levels may reflect exposure rather than pathological sensitization, and this method is not endorsed as a clinical standard for allergy diagnosis.
