Order Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | OccupationalSilkworm silk is a protein fiber produced by the larvae of Bombyx mori, and it is used in high-quality textiles and some biomedical materials.

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to help identify an allergy to silkworm silk.
About Silkworm Silk Allergy Test | Occupational in Santa Fe
Silkworm silk allergy is an immune-mediated sensitivity to proteins found in the silk produced by Bombyx mori larvae.
Silk from Bombyx mori consists largely of two proteins, fibroin and sericin. Sericin, the gum that binds the fibers, is often implicated in allergic reactions, though fibroin can also act as an allergen. When a sensitized person is exposed, the immune system produces IgE antibodies that recognize these proteins.
Occupational exposure is a recognized route for silkworm silk allergy. Workers in silk reeling, textile manufacturing, and sericulture may inhale or contact silk dust and fibers. Symptoms can include rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, and skin reactions such as urticaria or contact dermatitis.
This test detects specific IgE antibodies against silkworm silk in a blood sample. A positive result indicates sensitization, which should be interpreted alongside clinical history and exposure. The test is not a standalone diagnosis, and results are best reviewed by a healthcare provider.
