rCyp c1 Carp, parvalbumin (f355)2998
Parvalbumins are small calcium-binding proteins found in fast muscle fibers of lower and higher vertebrates. They are major fish allergens that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Recombinant carp parvalbumin Cyp c1 is used for diagnosing fish allergy. Cross-reactivity has been found with other fish species such as cod, tuna, salmon, perch, eel, and others, depending on the degree of parvalbumin homology. The allergen component is heat-stable, so it can cause sensitization regardless of the method of fish preparation.
- Diagnosis of allergic reactions to fish.
- 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, ImmunoCAP – Solid-phase Immunofluorescence) – quantitative determination.
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.
