Pecten spp Ab.IgE

This test detects IgE antibodies against scallop protein, identifying allergic sensitivity to this shellfish. Scallops contain allergens that can trigger immune reactions ranging from mild oral itching to severe anaphylaxis. Cross-reactivity with other shellfish is common in shellfish-allergic individuals. A positive result helps confirm a scallop allergy and warns of potential reactions to related seafood. This test guides safe dietary choices for shellfish-sensitive individuals.
