What is measured by Allergy - Food (Vegetarian), EIA?

• The vegetarian allergy-food test quantifies the amounts of allergen-specific antibodies.
• An immune system's hypersensitive response to a particular chemical is called an allergy.
• There are four categories of hypersensitive reactions, numbered I to IV.
• They are categorised based on which immune system component is triggered and how long it takes for reactions to take place.
• When an individual experiences a Type I reaction, their body generates immunological proteins known as antibodies in response to the allergen.
• These synthesised IgE antibodies bind to the allergens and trigger local reactions that, occasionally, quickly spread to the entire body.
• The interaction of certain immune cells that have been sensitised by allergens with white blood cells known as T lymphocytes results in Type IV reactions.

Procedure:

A tiny needle will be used by a doctor to draw blood from a vein in your arm. You can experience a very tiny sting when the needle enters or exits. Normally, this takes less than five minutes.
