Avocado (F96) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to avocado (F96), aiding the identification of allergic sensitization to avocado. A positive result indicates the presence of IgE antibodies and may suggest a higher likelihood of clinical allergy, but results must be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of clinical history and other diagnostics.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
