Overview
The Allergen, Individual-Food Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) test is a diagnostic tool used to identify allergies to cabbage. This blood test helps determine if an individual's immune system mistakenly reacts to proteins in cabbage, causing allergic symptoms like hives, swelling, or digestive problems. This test is helpful for people experiencing allergic reactions after consuming cabbage and aids in developing a personalized management plan to avoid triggers and prevent future allergic responses.
Cabbages are vegetables in the Brassicaceae family of plants which also includes broccoli, mustard, rapeseed and radish.
People who are allergic to cabbage will often have an allergy to other vegetables from the same family including Brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, and kale. Cabbage is used in a variety of recipes so it is important to check ingredients to ensure you are not putting your health at risk.
The allergen most commonly associated with a cabbage allergy is Bra o 3. This is a Lipid Transfer Protein resistant to heat and are found in many types of plants. Patients suffering from a more severe allergy to cooked fruit may be sensitised to this group of proteins.

Specific IgE measures the concentration of circulating allergen specific IgE for food allergen cabbage.
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Both: Negative: < 0.1 KAU/L
Both: Positive: => 0.1 KAU/L
