FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of sensitization levels.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions.
- 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.
- Blood should be drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
- Drinking plain still water is allowed.

Lamb refers to animals under one year old; mutton is meat from animals older than one year. Beef and mutton share common allergens, and cross-sensitization with sheep wool is also possible. Mutton is considered a weak allergen, and its allergenicity decreases with heating and pepsin treatment. This test aids in selecting safe foods and managing allergic conditions.
