About Shrimp Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Union City
The test detects specific IgE antibodies directed against shrimp proteins.
Specific IgE antibodies bind to proteins from shrimp, a crustacean within the shellfish group. A blood sample is analyzed for antibodies that recognize these proteins.
Elevated specific IgE suggests sensitization to shrimp. Sensitization does not always produce symptoms, so results are interpreted alongside the person's history of reactions.
Shrimp belongs to the crustacean family, which also includes crab, lobster, and crayfish. Reactions to one crustacean often extend to others, and tropomyosin is a protein frequently responsible for this cross-reactivity.
