Lysozyme (rk208) IgE details
What Lysozyme (rk208) IgE shows
Lysozyme is a protein found naturally in hen's egg white, where it is one of several egg allergens. It is also extracted and used as a preservative or processing aid in some cheeses and wines and in some medicines. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to lysozyme to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions to egg or to products containing added lysozyme, and it can add detail to whole egg allergy testing. Because egg allergy usually involves several egg proteins, a negative result does not exclude egg allergy. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms.
