nBos d6 BSA cows (e204)1342
nBos d6 bovine serum albumin (BSA) is an allergenic component of cattle, which is the major allergen of beef and a minor allergen of cow's milk. BSA is a thermolabile protein that plays an important role in biochemistry and immunology and is widely used in the production of diagnostic test systems and biological reagents.
Serum albumin is a key mammalian blood protein responsible for transporting nutrients. Beef and milk contain thermolabile proteins, among which BSA is the main allergenic component. People allergic to beef often have cross-reactivity to milk. BSA is used in biochemistry, immunology, and cosmetology and can also be an occupational allergen causing asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms. Measuring BSA levels aids in diagnosing food allergies, monitoring treatment, and assessing the body's immune response.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions to beef and milk.
- Assessment of sensitization levels and risk of allergy development.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
- Evaluation of sensitization levels after allergen avoidance.
- Assessment of immune system status.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – a fluorescent enzyme immunoassay that allows quantitative determination of bovine serum albumin (BSA) levels.
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.
