Ryctolagus cuniculus – European rabbits belonging to the family Leporidae. These animals have a body length of 35-50 cm and weigh 1500-3000 g. Their fur is usually brown, with a white underside of the tail. They were previously bred for food and fur, and are now popular as pets and laboratory animals.
Rabbit allergen is a potent sensitizer that can cause asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, and urticaria. The main allergenic components are Ory c1, Ory c2, Ory c3, Ory c4, found in rabbit saliva, fur, urine, and dander. Inhalation of these allergens leads to allergic reactions, especially in laboratory workers and rabbit owners. Measuring the levels of these allergens aids in diagnosis, prevention, and management of allergic diseases.
FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) using ImmunoCAP technology (Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination of allergen levels.
