ImmunoCAP FEIA

Test Usage

Although there have been many publications concerning the measurement of allergen-specific IgG, the clinical utility of such tests has not been established except in special situations. Thus, the quantitative IgG test should be ordered only by specialists who recognize the limitations of the test. The normal reference ranges reported represent the expected results for individuals who have no unusual exposure and have not been immunized with the
indicated allergen. The ranges reported have no disease associated significance.
