Ginger (f270) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to the ginger allergen (f270), aiding in the identification of IgE-mediated sensitization to ginger. Elevated IgE levels may indicate a possible allergy, supporting clinical evaluation alongside patient history. This assay should not be used alone to confirm allergy without clinical correlation.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive IgE result indicates sensitization but does not confirm clinical allergy or predict severity of reactions. Results must be interpreted in conjunction with patient history and possibly additional diagnostic methods. The test is specific to ginger (f270) and does not assess cross-reactivity with structurally related allergens.
