Order Scallop Allergy Test | Shellfish AllergyScallop allergy testing measures the presence of specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to scallop proteins.

This profile provides a focused, objective look at sensitization to scallop allergens.
About Scallop Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Danville
The Scallop Allergy Profile is a blood-based immunoassay that quantifies IgE antibodies directed against scallop proteins.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to otherwise harmless proteins. When a person is sensitized to scallops, their immune system may produce IgE that binds to scallop-specific allergens. A blood sample is analyzed to measure the concentration of these antibodies.
Scallops are mollusks, a category that also includes clams, mussels, and oysters. Allergies to mollusks and crustaceans are distinct, though some individuals may react to both. Testing for scallop-specific IgE helps clarify whether symptoms are linked to this particular shellfish rather than to a broader group.
Results are reported as a quantitative value that indicates the likelihood of clinical allergy. A positive result suggests sensitization, but it does not by itself confirm that eating scallops will cause symptoms. Physicians interpret the numeric result alongside a patient's history and, when appropriate, other diagnostic information.
