The test detects sensitization to the Pacific squid allergen (Todarodes pacificus) – the main thermostable protein of 38 kDa (Tod p1), which shows cross-reactivity with shrimp and some snail allergens.
The main allergenic component of squid, Tod p1, is a thermostable protein that triggers allergic reactions. Cross-reactivity with shrimp allergens confirms the need for comprehensive diagnostics. Detecting sensitization helps prevent complications and effectively manage allergy.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions to squid.
- Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
- Monitoring therapy effectiveness.
- Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
- Assessment of immune system status.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay), ImmunoCAP (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of the allergen.
