About Cheese, Mold Type Allergy Testing in Richmond
The Cheese, Mold Type Allergy Testing panel evaluates immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies directed against mold-type cheese allergens.
Mold-type cheeses are characterized by intentional mold growth, either on the surface or throughout the interior. Examples include soft white cheeses like Camembert and Brie, as well as blue-veined cheeses such as Gorgonzola and Roquefort.
During an allergic response, the immune system produces IgE antibodies that recognize specific proteins in these cheeses. A blood test detects and quantifies this IgE, providing objective information about sensitization.
Elevated IgE levels alone do not confirm a clinical allergy. Results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional alongside a person's medical history and reported symptoms.
