Because this protein is one of the most abundant solids in egg white, sensitization to ovalbumin is often considered when egg allergy is suspected.
About Ovalbumin Allergy Test | Egg White Allergy in Oxnard
The test uses a blood sample to assess whether the immune system has produced IgE antibodies specific to ovalbumin, a major egg white protein.
Egg white contains several distinct proteins, and ovalbumin is the most plentiful among them. Alongside ovomucoid, it is one of the two proteins most frequently implicated in egg white allergy.
An IgE antibody result reflects sensitization rather than a definitive clinical diagnosis. A physician interprets the result together with symptoms, dietary history, and other findings to determine whether a true allergy is present.
Because egg proteins can appear in baked goods, processed foods, and some vaccines, identifying the specific protein involved may help a clinician counsel on avoidance and on the likelihood of reactions to cooked or baked egg.
