The olive tree, native to the Mediterranean, has been used by humans for over 5000 years. The olive fruit is an important agricultural and dietary resource, especially in Mediterranean countries. Food allergy to olive fruits is rare, but there is an allergen component Ole e13 – a thaumatin-like protein that can cause sensitization.
The olive tree (Oleaceae) is a valuable agricultural resource widely used for oil and fruit production. The allergen component Ole e13 causes sensitization in some patients, especially after immunotherapy with olive pollen. Detecting this allergen helps accurately diagnose allergic reactions and adjust treatment.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of the allergen.
