Pacific Squid (f58) IgE details
What Pacific Squid (f58) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in Pacific squid, a mollusc eaten as calamari and in many seafood dishes. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating squid. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to Pacific squid, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Squid shares tropomyosin with other molluscs, crustaceans and dust mites, so cross-reactive results are common. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
