nCan f3 Dog, serum albumin (e221)1413
rCan f3 – a dog allergen component, serum albumin found in the animal's fur, hair, epithelium, and saliva, as well as in household dust.
The Can f3 allergen component is serum albumin that causes sensitization associated with an increased risk of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and their combinations. This allergen has high cross-reactivity with serum albumins of other mammals, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Its role in polysensitization and sensitization of atopic individuals is important. Even without direct contact with a dog, the allergen can cause reactions due to its presence in public places.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions related to dogs.
- Assessment of sensitization level and risk of developing allergic reactions.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
- Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
- Assessment of immune system status.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – a fluorescent enzyme immunoassay that allows quantitative determination of serum albumin levels in a sample.
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.
- Only plain still water is allowed to drink.
- Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
- Children under 1 year – no food 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
