Diather allergy test is designed to detect specific IgE antibodies to dog and cat hair allergens.
Allergies to pets, such as dogs or cats, do not result from contact with the fur itself, but with proteins from the epidermis, sweat, sebum, urine and saliva of pets.
Its symptoms include rhinitis, hives, atopic dermatitis , gastrointestinal problems, and shortness of breath. In some cases, even anaphylactic shock may occur.
Dog and cat allergy – when to test?
The Diather home allergy test is recommended to be performed if the tested person had the above-mentioned symptoms after contact with dog or cat fur.
It can be used as a diagnostic aid in therapy and to assess whether emerging allergy symptoms are caused by type 1 hypersensitivity.
It is also worth performing the test before deciding to adopt a pet, especially if there are similar allergies in the family.
Dog and cat proteins found in their fur are different, so being allergic to one animal does not necessarily mean that you will also be allergic to the other.
Therefore, the Diather Test Allergy test cassette is equipped with two, appropriately marked chambers.
The test cassette membrane contains antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold directed against the test subject’s IgE antibodies.
Additionally, biotinylated cat and dog allergens are adsorbed in the S wells of the test cassette.
Application
The test is intended to detect specific IgE antibodies to dog and cat hair allergens.
