Quick answer
The Scallop Allergy Test is a blood test that measures IgE antibodies against proteins found in scallops. It is ordered when a person reports symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, or digestive upset after eating scallops. The test shows whether sensitization to scallop proteins is present and is interpreted with the person's reaction history.
About this test in Lewes
Scallops are bivalve mollusks, a group that also includes clams, mussels, and oysters, and they are distinct from crustaceans such as shrimp and crab. Shellfish allergy can involve proteins such as tropomyosin, and some people react to both mollusks and crustaceans. The test measures IgE antibodies that recognize scallop proteins in the blood.
Only a blood sample is required, and results are reported as a quantitative concentration in kilounits per liter with a graded class. Because shellfish groups share some proteins, panels often include shrimp, crab, lobster, clam, and mussel alongside scallop. This helps show whether the sensitivity is specific to scallops or broader.
People may seek testing after reactions to scallops or other shellfish. Shellfish reactions can sometimes be severe, so any suspected shellfish allergy should be evaluated by a clinician. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the test result with the person's reaction history and other allergy findings.
