Black Olive (rf342) IgE details
What Black Olive (rf342) IgE shows
Olive is the fruit of the olive tree, eaten cured or pickled and pressed for olive oil, and black olives are olives harvested ripe or processed to darken, so you can meet olive as a food or through the tree and its pollen. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to black olive in your blood. It is used to check whether olive may be involved in symptoms after eating olives or after contact with olive trees. Olive fruit and olive tree pollen share some proteins, so a positive result may partly reflect cross-reactivity. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
