Order Cotton Seed Allergy Test | Cottonseed OilThe Cotton Seed Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies directed against cottonseed proteins in a blood sample.

About Cotton Seed Allergy Test | Cottonseed Oil in Sanger
Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant, and its derivatives reach consumers through several routes.
Cottonseed flour and cottonseed oil are used in a range of food products, including baked goods, snack items, and dietary supplements. Refining generally reduces the protein content of the oil, but protein residues can remain, and individuals with a known cottonseed allergy are often advised to consider both forms.
Allergic reactions to cottonseed are mediated by IgE antibodies that recognize specific seed proteins. On re-exposure, these antibodies can trigger the release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells, producing symptoms that may involve the skin, respiratory tract, or gastrointestinal system. The severity of a reaction varies between individuals and does not always correlate with the size of the antibody result.
This test detects cottonseed-specific IgE in serum. A detectable level indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has produced antibodies against cottonseed proteins; it does not by itself confirm that symptoms will occur on exposure. Sensitization and clinical allergy are related but distinct, which is why results are best reviewed with a clinician who can integrate them with the exposure history and physical findings.
