IgE Allergy Explorer™ (150+ Extract and Component Allergens)

Over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, with symptoms ranging from rather mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Thankfully, diagnosis and treatment related to allergies is on the rise – over 350% between 2007 and 2016. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a class of human antibodies, normally activated to fight parasitic infections. In allergic individuals, these IgE antibodies are misdirected to fight harmless substances like pollen, mite particles, or common foods. This comprehensive test measures IgE antibodies to over 150 allergens in just a few drops of blood, making it one of the most extensive and easy-to-use functional tests of its kind. The panel also includes alpha‑gal antibody testing for the evaluation of alpha‑gal syndrome, expanding its utility for patients with delayed allergic reactions following tick bites.
