Order Chymopapain (Chymodiactin) Allergy TestChymopapain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the papaya plant that was formerly used in chemonucleolysis, a procedure in which the enzyme is injected into a herniated intervertebral disk to dissolve part of the nucleus pulposus. Because chymopapain is a foreign protein, it can provoke an immune response, and the Chymopapain (Chymodiactin) Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies against the enzyme in a blood sample.
About Chymopapain (Chymodiactin) Allergy Test in Pasadena
The test detects sensitization to chymopapain by quantifying IgE antibodies that bind the enzyme.
Chymopapain is a plant-derived cysteine protease. When introduced into the body, it can act as an antigen and stimulate the production of chymopapain-specific IgE antibodies in susceptible individuals.
The assay uses a blood specimen and an immunoassay platform to measure the concentration of these antibodies. Results are reported as a quantitative value or as a class score, depending on the laboratory method.
An elevated specific IgE level indicates sensitization to chymopapain. Sensitization does not by itself confirm that a clinical reaction will occur, so results are interpreted alongside the patient's history and other clinical findings.
