Interpretive Data

Allergen results of 0.10-0.34 kU/L for whole peanut are intended for specialist use as the clinical relevance is undetermined. Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.

Note

Test methodology uses solid-phase immunoassays against the whole peanut allergen (f13) and 6 antigenic epitopes (Ara h1, Ara h2, Ara h3, Ara h6, Ara h8, and Ara h9) and measures IgE antibody concentrations in patient serum or plasma. The binding of a specific IgE to an immobilized allergen component is detected by the addition of a secondary fluorescence-labeled anti-human IgE antibody.
