The P88 Dietary Antigen Test measures IgE, IgG4, IgG and complement (C3d) reactions to 88 commonly eaten foods.
This test analyses the serum levels of IgE antibodies (the most known food allergy response) for 88 different food antigens. It also measures IgG4, a subclass of IgG, which is indicative of immune tolerance as IgG4 can block IgE antibodies from binding to receptor sites and releasing histamine.
P88 also measures IgG antibodies (the most known food intolerance response) which triggers a delayed allergic response with immune complexes. Within an immune complex, the complement component 3 (C3) is one of the strongest causes of inflammatory food reactions. Having IgG antibodies plus C3 present to any particular food will result in a reaction 1000 times stronger than having just IgG antibodies present.
