Interest of ImmunoCAP System to Recombinant ω-5 Gliadin for the Diagnosis of Exercise-Induced Wheat Allergy

Abstract

Although not specific to EIWA, the new ImmunoCAP omega-5 gliadin is an important biological test because of its negative predictive value. In case of food-dependent exercise-induced allergy, the absence of omega-5 gliadin-specific IgE will almost completely exclude the implication of wheat.
