rCan f5 is an allergen component of dog epithelium, which is a kallikrein protein of the prostate gland produced by intact male dogs. This allergen component is present in dog hair and dander and causes sensitization in about 70% of individuals allergic to dogs.

The Can f5 allergen component is a primary marker of sensitization to intact male dogs. Sensitization to this allergen component is associated with symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and can also cause polysensitization. Due to cross-reactivity with human prostate-specific antigen, sensitization to Can f5 may cause sexual disorders, including infertility, and is important in anaphylactic reactions.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions to dogs.
  • Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergy development.
  • 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 provides quantitative determination of the allergen component.

Please note that the research method and reference values may vary depending on the equipment and test systems used.
