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.

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 – no food 30-40 minutes before the test; for children 1-5 years – 2-3 hours fasting.
