allergy tests

Immunoglobin E (IgE) plays a vital role in allergic diseases. The underlying mechanism of IgE-mediated allergy is that: the allergen (second exposure) binds to the pre-existing IgE (produced in the first exposure) cross-linked with the Fc receptors on the surface of mast cells and basophils, resulting in degranulation and the secretion of inflammatory substances such as histamine, leukotriene (LTC4 and LTD4), and prostaglandin.

Allergy tests can be conducted for most common allergies, including plant pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, insect stings, and various foods such as peanuts, eggs, wheat, shellfish and milk. Allergy testing involves having a skin or blood test to find out what substance, or allergen, may trigger an allergic response in a person. Skin tests are usually done because they are rapid, reliable, and generally less expensive than blood tests, but either type of test may be used.
