Method

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay, ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence)) – quantitative determination.

Description

European plaice (lat. Pleuronectes platessa) is a ray-finned fish of the flatfish family (Pleuronectidae), known for its flattened body and eyes located on one side. It has the ability to mimic its surroundings, and during development from egg to juvenile, it swims like a typical fish. Upon reaching a certain size, metamorphosis occurs, and one eye shifts to the right side. Plaice is a valuable commercial fish, rich in nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids.

Indications

Diagnosis of allergic reactions to plaice.
Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
Assessment of immune system status.

Preparation

Blood should be drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
Drinking plain still water is allowed.
Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
For children under 1 year – no food 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.

Clinical Significance

Plaice dishes are recommended for dietary nutrition as they are easily digestible and enrich the body with nutrients. Plaice meat supports the respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular systems, and omega-3 helps suppress cancer cells. At the same time, plaice is one of the common food allergens, causing allergic reactions in 2.2% of Europeans. The risk of cross-reactivity is high, so people allergic to fish are advised to avoid all types of fish.
