1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts?
The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50+ unique molecular allergens. Because molecular allergens can be precisely replicated with very high purity, th...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food observed in patients with functional GI disorders, such as IBS, may be due to a delayed immunological response involving Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. Problem foods and food additives are believed to activate mast cells through the binding of IgG antibodies. Increased intestinal mast cell activation has been demonstrated in cases of IBD and IBS.
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives, vomiting, diarrhea, and constricted breathing. A severe allergic reaction, termed anaphylaxis, ...

Join Sandra Wieser, PhD, Product Manager at MacroArray Diagnostics for a discussion on the latest in food intolerance testing and the FOX Food Xplorer platform. This webinar will review the concept of multiplex IgG testing and discuss the application of IgG test results for the detection of potential food tolerance and/or intolerance.
