Wheat Antigen

Wheat Antigen is a specific substance derived from wheat proteins that is used in allergy testing and diagnosis. Wheat is a common allergen that can cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
The Wheat Antigen is extracted and purified from wheat proteins and is used to identify individuals who are allergic to wheat. It is commonly used in skin prick tests or blood tests to determine allergic responses. By measuring specific antibodies in the blood or conducting skin prick tests, healthcare professionals can accurately diagnose wheat allergies and provide appropriate management and treatment plans.

Background

Wheat is a collective term for plants of the genus Triticum, with the representative species being common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), which belongs to the family Poaceae. Wheat is a cereal crop widely cultivated around the world. The caryopsis of wheat is one of the staple foods for humans and, when milled into flour, can be used to produce bread, steamed buns, biscuits, noodles, and other foods. After fermentation, wheat can also be used to produce beer, alcohol, spirits (such as vodka), or biofuels. Wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated allergic reaction.
