The ALEX3 includes a panel of 300 allergens, covering high-relevance allergen sources such as animal dander, cereals, egg, legumes, milk, mites, molds, pollen, seafood, tree nuts, and venoms, supplemented with a Total IgE. It contains 218 molecular allergens, 107 of which are unique to the test providing a comprehensive sensitisation profile. Results are presented in a structured report which include guiding comments to help with interpretation.
The ALEX3 testing seems to be helpful for complex cases, such as multi-sensitised patients or for those where there has been unsatisfactory response to treatment.
Most allergic patients have positive test results to numerous allergens and the true course of symptoms can be difficult to identify; ALEX3 testing is able to provide useful and refined information in most cases, either revealing potential risk for severe food related reactions, identifying the IgE antibody profile in patients with unsatisfactory response to treatment, or assessing patients with idiopathic anaphylaxis.
