All Alcat tests measure innate immune cell activation following ex vivo challenges of the whole blood with foods, chemicals, and other substances. Delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions are the effect of multiple pathogenic pathways, of which the innate immune cells reflect a final common pathway. Thus, the Alcat test is a sensitive and specific marker for non-IgE-mediated hypersensitivity and toxic reactions to foods, chemicals, and other substances.
