IMMUNOCAP™ WHOLE ALLERGENS

One allergen source per ImmunoCAP test

These fully quantitative assays provide high sensitivity in detecting IgE to the allergen source. The technology that makes this detection possible is the very high capacity of the cellulose sponge solid matrix of binding proteins. As a result, whole allergens can be suitable as support to rule in an IgE-mediated allergy. Single ImmunoCAP Whole Allergen tests are generally more sensitive than mixes of whole allergens, providing quantitative results rather than a qualitative result produced by a mix used for screening.

ImmunoCAP Whole Allergens contain most proteins and allergen components from the source allergen, for a total of more than 600 allergens including:
 

  • Insect venoms

  • Mold

  • Drugs

  • Foods

  • Tree pollen

  • Grass pollen

  • Mites

  • Animals dander

  • Occupational allergens
