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.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of sensitization to lupine allergen.
