Product overviewHWTAI Food-specific IgG/IgG4 Antibodies Test Kit series is an ELISA-based in vitro diagnostic solution to quantify food-specific IgG and IgG4 antibodies in human serum. The series supports clinicians in identifying IgG/IgG4-associated food adverse reactions and advising dietary avoidance in combination with clinical assessment.
Intended useClinically intended to detect concentrations of food-specific IgG and IgG4 in human serum for in vitro diagnostics of IgG4-induced food adverse reactions. Test results, interpreted together with patient clinical symptoms, may guide clinicians to recommend avoidance of specific foods or food components.
Features and benefits- Wide coverage of common food allergens across multiple categories (dairy, cereals, seafood, nuts, fruits, vegetables, seasonings).
- Quantitative ELISA measurement of food-specific IgG and IgG4 to support individualized dietary recommendations.
- Multiple kit configurations and panel sizes to match different clinical throughput and testing objectives.
- Data supportive for clinicians developing targeted dietary modification and symptom management plans.
Covered food categories (examples)- Meats: beef, mutton, pork, chicken, turkey.
- Cereals: wheat, buckwheat, oat, rye, barley, rice, millet, sesame seed, corn, malt.
- Egg & dairy: egg, egg white, egg yolk, ovomucoid, milk, buffalo milk, milk protein, boiled milk, hydrolyzed milk, α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, casein, cheddar, cottage cheese, buttermilk, yoghurt, sheep milk.
- Aquatic/seafood: codfish, crab, shrimp, grass carp, largehead hairtail, scallop, clam, oyster, trout, tuna, lobster, salmon, sardine.
- Nuts & seeds: cashew, almond, sunflower seed, peanut, hazelnut, black walnut.
- Fruits: watermelon, olive, blueberry, pineapple, orange, peach, apple, durian, mango, banana, honeydew, grape, pomelo, strawberry, lemon.
- Vegetables: green pepper, onion, garlic, leek, coriander, red pepper, sweet potato, soybean, carrot, eggplant, pumpkin, celery, parsley, mushroom, cucumber, tomato, potato, green bean, pea, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, bok choy.

Package options and covered itemsMultiple package configurations are available to suit clinical needs. Examples include 10 tests/kit panels covering up to 100 items (meats, cereals, egg/dairy, aquatic products, nuts, fruits, vegetables, seasonings), 10-test panels with ~90 or ~80 items, and 20-test panels with 50 items. Additional 20-test variants and smaller targeted panels exist (examples: 42, 23, 17, 15, 14, 12, 10, 7 items) for focused allergen screening.
Test methods and kit configurationsThe series uses ELISA methodology. Example ELISA configurations include 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24 tests per kit with predefined antigen lists (example panel: beef, chicken, pork, wheat, barley, corn, soybean, peanut, tomato, mushroom, milk, egg, shrimp, crab, codfish, potato, hazel nut, cashew nut, peach, pineapple).
Clinical valueQuantitative profiling of food-specific IgG and IgG4 supports the clinical assessment of food sensitivities, enabling tailored dietary interventions and monitoring to reduce symptom frequency and severity.
