Allergen-Walnut test is performed to determine if a person is allergic to walnuts. Allergies are abnormal reactions produced by the body in response to a substance it perceives as a threat. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a specialized protein called an antibody, produced by the immune system to fight these threats. Walnuts belong to the tree-nut family which contain allergen proteins like 2S albumins, legumins, and vicilins. If your total IgE level is increased, it usually indicates that you are suffering from one or more allergies. Sometimes, increased levels are also associated with parasitic infections. An elevated IgE indicates an allergic process but does not indicate what a person is allergic to. In general, the greater the number of things a person is allergic to, the higher is the IgE level.Read more
