Description:
Peanut Component Allergy Test
This test is used to determine if a person may have an allergic reaction to Peanuts. Unlike a standard peanut allergy test, a component allergy test looks at a person's reaction to various proteins found in peanuts. Since some of these proteins can cause a more severe reaction than others, it can be helpful to know which specific proteins a person is allergic to. This information can help a person to work with their doctor to determine the best way to manage their allergy. This test measures IgE antibodies to the proteins Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, Ara h 6, ARA h 8, and Ara h 9.
