Japanese mackerel, similar to the Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus, is mainly found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, where it is known as chub mackerel or Spanish mackerel. The test determines sensitization to this fish allergen, which is important for diagnosing allergic reactions.

Fish allergens from the Gadiformes family (cod, hake) and Scombroid family (mackerel, tuna) share common allergenic components. The overlap in allergen specificity between these groups is moderate or low, which is important for accurate diagnosis and treatment of allergies.

  • 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 of sensitization level.

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.
