Food Mix No. 3 (almond, kiwi, melon, banana, grape) (fx9)

Almond contains several major allergenic proteins, such as AMP (amandin) and heat-stable Pru du 2S albumin, which are responsible for allergy development and cross-reactions with other nuts and seeds. Kiwi can cause both true and false allergies due to proteins and external substances on the fruit’s skin. Melon has several allergenic components, including profilins and lipid transfer proteins, which cause cross-reactions with other fruits and pollen. Banana is characterized by allergens from the profilin group and proteins associated with latex allergy, potentially causing severe reactions. Grape contains LTP Vit v1, which can trigger severe allergic reactions and LTP syndrome, associated with cross-allergy to plants of the Rosaceae family.

• Diagnosis of allergic reactions to food products.
• Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
• Monitoring reduction of sensitization after avoiding contact with allergens and undergoing therapy.
• Evaluation of immune system status.

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

• 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.
