What it measures
- Specific IgE to scallop — The main marker; it measures antibodies your immune system may make against scallop proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level; sometimes included to help interpret the specific result.
- Cross-reactive shellfish markers — Proteins shared with shrimp, crab, or lobster may be checked because reactions can overlap.
- Tropomyosin — A common shellfish protein that often causes allergic reactions.
Preparation

Results and what they mean
