Allergen, Individual-Food Alpha Lactalbumin Milk protein F2

The Allergen, Individual‑Food Alpha‑lactalbumin (Milk Protein) F2 test is an at‑home allergy assay that detects immune sensitisation to alpha‑lactalbumin, a major whey protein in cow's milk. The service uses a certified laboratory to measure specific IgE antibodies (quantitative) against alpha‑lactalbumin from a blood sample collected at home, providing objective evidence of IgE‑mediated milk allergy.

This test is important for families and healthcare providers in Dubai and the UAE to identify whether symptoms such as immediate hives, vomiting, respiratory reactions, or anaphylaxis after milk exposure are immune‑mediated. Results include quantitative antibody levels with professional interpretation and personalised guidance to help with dietary decisions, avoidance strategies, and referral recommendations to paediatricians or allergists when needed.
