Food Specific IgG Black Olive
Use
Determination of allergen‑specific IgG antibodies to black olive (Olea europaea) may help in evaluating potential delayed-type hypersensitivity or immune response to this food; elevated IgG levels suggest exposure and immunologic reaction, though clinical relevance should be interpreted in conjunction with symptoms and clinical context.
Special Instructions
This test was developed and its analytical performance characteristics have been determined by Quest Diagnostics. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is validated under CLIA regulations for clinical use.
Limitations
Not FDA cleared or approved. IgG levels alone do not confirm allergy and must be interpreted with clinical correlation. May not predict clinical allergy or immediate hypersensitivity.
