Rabbit Meat
Use
The Rabbit Meat test, specifically the IgE Rabbit Meat test, is used to detect specific IgE antibodies to rabbit meat allergens. This test helps in diagnosing meat allergies, guiding dietary recommendations, and management of allergic conditions related to rabbit meat consumption.
Special Instructions
Ensure proper specimen collection in a red-top tube or gel-barrier tube to maintain specimen integrity. Confirmatory or reflex tests may require additional time.
Limitations
The test is limited by the specificity and sensitivity of the ImmunoCAP method for IgE detection. It's important to interpret results in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests. False positives/negatives can occur due to cross-reactivity or interferences.
