Allergy Banana Radio Immunoabsorbent Blood
What is this test?
Banana Intolerance Information. A person who has a banana intolerance will experience negative symptoms after eating bananas. Another key difference between a banana intolerance and an allergy is the severity of the symptoms. Food allergy symptoms are often quite severe and, in some cases, they can be life-threatening. Commercial dessert (or common) Banana cultivars most frequently eaten in temperate countries are of the species M. acuminata or the hybrid M. x paradisiaca, a cultigen). Banana may commonly induce symptoms of food allergy in Latex-sensitised individuals, but may also induce symptoms of food allergy in non-Latex sensitised individuals. The leukocyte histamine release test (LHR, LHRT) measures the amount of histamine released in-vitro in the presence of an allergen. Allergen extracts in varying concentrations are added to isolated leukocytes from peripheral blood. If the patient is hypersensitive to the specific antigen, the leukocytes will release the histamine in-vitro. The amount of histamine released will depend on the sensibility to the allergen.
