Gelatin, Bovine(c74) IgE details
What Gelatin, Bovine(c74) IgE shows
Gelatin is a protein made from animal collagen, and bovine gelatin comes from cattle. It is found in desserts, sweets, marshmallows, medicine capsules and some vaccines. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to bovine gelatin to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling or breathing problems after eating gelatin-containing foods or receiving products that contain it. Gelatin can also be relevant in people with alpha-gal syndrome. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and history, and may be reviewed by an allergist before vaccines or medicines that contain gelatin.
