Why This Biomarker Matters
Lobster IgG antibodies may indicate delayed immune reactions or chronic sensitivity. This helps identify potential food triggers for symptoms that don't fit typical immediate allergic patterns.
Overview
This test detects IgG antibodies against lobster (Homarus gammarus), a shellfish allergen. Unlike IgE antibodies associated with immediate allergic reactions, IgG indicates past or ongoing exposure and possible sensitivity. While less specific than IgE for acute allergies, IgG detection may help identify delayed immune responses or chronic sensitivities to lobster.
