Lupin seeds (f335)1587
Lupine belongs to the Legume family and includes over 450 species, among which the main agricultural types are white, blue, yellow, and other varieties. Lupine seeds are a rich source of protein with a high albumin content, widely used as animal feed as well as in the food industry. Lupine is cultivated worldwide and is important as a green manure crop for soil improvement. The seeds contain allergenic components that can cause sensitization, so determining their levels is important for allergy diagnosis.
Lupine seeds are used as a protein-rich food source and have agricultural importance. Detecting lupine allergen is crucial to prevent allergic reactions, especially in patients with cross-reactivity to other legumes such as peanuts. The test helps timely diagnose sensitization and monitor allergy treatment.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions to lupine.
- Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
- Monitoring therapy effectiveness.
- Assessment of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
- Evaluation of immune system status.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of sensitization to lupine allergen.
Please note that the research method and reference values may vary depending on the equipment and test systems used.
- 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 – do not feed 30-40 minutes before the test; for children aged 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
