An automated assay for the quantitative determination of Specific IgE in human serum on the IDS System. The results are to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and management of allergic disorders in conjunction with other clinical findings. The presence of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in serum is referred to as sensitisation and is an important risk factor for allergic reactions upon re-exposure to the allergen (1).

Associated allergen:

Epidermals (e.g. animal dander, fur, epithelium) are important risk factors for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Sensitisation rates to cat allergens vary between 6 and 19% depending on age and geographical region. The cat Fel d 1 component is a major allergen and a specific marker for primary cat sensitisation. The component can be useful in identifying patients that will respond to Immunotherapy (2).
