Cobalt IgE Ab [Presence] in Serum by Radioallergosorbent test (RAST)

Cobalt IgE RAST

Definition

  • This test is a specific immunological test that measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against cobalt in a person's blood serum. IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to exposure to certain allergens or substances, and their presence indicates an allergic reaction. This test is used to help diagnose occupational asthma or other respiratory allergic conditions caused by exposure to cobalt, which is a low molecular weight agent commonly found in various industrial and manufacturing settings.[PMID 7939614]
