About Codfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in St. Paul
The Codfish Allergy Test uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against codfish proteins.
IgE is an antibody class involved in allergic reactions. When a person is sensitized to a particular allergen, the immune system produces IgE that recognizes that substance. A blood test detects these antibodies and provides a quantitative or semi-quantitative result.
Codfish, also called cod, is a widely consumed white fish. Its major allergen is a protein known as Gad c 1, a parvalbumin that is relatively resistant to heat and digestion. Because of this stability, reactions can occur even with cooked fish.
Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside clinical history. A positive IgE result indicates sensitization, which does not always equate to a clinical allergy, and a negative result may not fully exclude it.
