The test determines the level of sensitization to veal allergen, aiding in the diagnosis of allergic reactions. Beef allergy is a rare food allergy that can cause symptoms ranging from urticaria to anaphylaxis. The main allergen is bovine serum albumin (Bos d 6), found in the muscles and milk of mammals, explaining cross-reactivity.

Beef allergy can manifest as urticaria, angioedema, anaphylaxis, and gastrointestinal disorders. Identifying sensitization is important to avoid the allergen and adjust treatment. Allergy to α-gal is particularly dangerous as it can cause delayed reactions and severe symptoms. The test allows detection of specific IgE to bovine allergens and supports accurate diagnosis and patient management.

  • Diagnosis of allergic reactions to beef.
  • 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 specific IgE to veal 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.
