Quick answer
The shellfish allergy panel is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E antibodies against four common shellfish: shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam. Shellfish allergy can cause reactions ranging from hives and stomach upset to severe reactions, and crustaceans and mollusks are tracked separately because they contain different allergens. Testing several species together helps show which sensitizations are present. A healthcare provider interprets the results with the person's history.
What this test measures
Shellfish fall into two broad groups: crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks such as clams, mussels, and oysters. The proteins that trigger reactions differ between these groups, so someone may react to one group and tolerate the other. This panel focuses on four widely eaten shellfish, combining the major crustaceans with clam as a representative mollusk.
The test measures allergen-specific IgE in a serum sample and reports a level or reactivity class for each species. Tropomyosin is a well-known shellfish allergen found in crustaceans, and other proteins contribute to mollusk reactions. Because cooking does not always remove shellfish allergens, testing can be useful even when symptoms follow cooked food.
A positive result indicates sensitization and does not predict the severity of a future reaction. Some people with positive tests tolerate the food, while others react. A qualified healthcare provider reviews the panel with the symptom history and may recommend additional evaluation. Anyone with a history of severe reactions should seek medical guidance.
