Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ab.IgG
Detects immune antibodies against baker's yeast protein.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Yeast antibodies may indicate intestinal immune dysfunction or inflammatory bowel disease. Results help support diagnosis but must be combined with clinical evaluation.
Overview
This test detects IgG antibodies against baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in your blood. While baker's yeast is common in foods like bread, elevated antibodies may indicate an atypical immune response. This test is sometimes used in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), where immune dysregulation occurs. Positive results may suggest intestinal inflammation or altered gut immune function. However, this test is not diagnostic on its own and must be interpreted alongside clinical symptoms and other findings.
