Test

Method

ImmunoCAP™

Method Description

ImmunoCAP™ assays are based on binding of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in serum to allergen (extract or allergen molecule) coupled in excess to a solid phase. Bound IgE is subsequently detected with enzyme-labeled anti-human IgE, where the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the amount of allergen-specific IgE.
