About the test

The Comprehensive Allergy Panel evaluates sensitivity to a wide range of environmental and insect allergens in horses. Using advanced detection technologies, the test measures allergen-specific IgE with high precision and avoids cross-reactivity with IgG or CCDs (cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants).

All results are interpreted using the HERBU scoring system, which provides clinically relevant categorization of IgE reactivity levels for each allergen.

Why test?

Identifying specific allergens responsible for your horse's symptoms is essential for targeted allergy management.

The Comprehensive Allergy Panel enables early detection and supports the development of effective treatment and prevention strategies, including immunotherapy.

Benefits of the Test

Broad screening of European environmental and insect allergens.
High sensitivity: detects specific IgE levels down to 10 pg per sample.
Rapid turnaround: results in 2 to 7 working days.
Results expressed according to the HERBU score, ensuring clinically meaningful interpretation.
Specific for IgE only, with no interference from IgG or non-relevant cross-reactions.

Results

Results are expressed according to the HERBU scoring system, providing clinically relevant categorization of IgE reactivity levels for each allergen.

FAQs

How can anti-allergy treatments affect the test results?

These treatments can lower IgE production or activity, potentially resulting in underestimation of allergen sensitivity. It is advised to wait an appropriate period after treatment before testing.

What makes the Comprehensive Allergy Panel different from standard allergy tests?

This panel uses IgE-specific detection and a refined scoring system (HERBU) to ensure accurate, clinically significant results. It avoids misleading positives from IgG or carbohydrate-based cross-reactions.
