The Immune Function Immunoglobulins Panel panel contains 3 tests with 3 biomarkers.
Name: Immune Function Immunoglobulins Panel
Tests Included:
Description:
The Immune Function Panel is a comprehensive assessment designed to measure specific immunoglobulins in the bloodstream. These immunoglobulins, or antibodies, play a critical role in the body's immune response. By evaluating the levels of these antibodies, the panel aids in diagnosing various conditions and understanding the body's immune status.
IgE (Immunoglobulin E): Typically increased in allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels can indicate an allergic response or other conditions like asthma or atopic dermatitis.
IgG (Immunoglobulin G): The most abundant type of antibody in the circulation. It plays a crucial role in fighting bacterial and viral infections. Assessment of IgG levels can help diagnose conditions like immunodeficiency or chronic infections.
IgM (Immunoglobulin M): The first antibody produced in response to an infection. High levels of IgM can be indicative of a recent infection or exposure to a specific pathogen.
Purpose:
This panel is useful for:
