This in vitro allergen-specific IgG antibody test quantifies an individual's IgG response to venom of yellow hornet.

Insect stings may trigger a series of immune responses, which lead to local and systemic reactions. Both venom specific IgE and IgG antibodies can be produced during this process. IgE assays are the best-studied and most accepted serologic tests for evaluating stinging insect allergy status. Venom-specific IgG assays are not recommended for diagnosing venom/sting allergy or predicting when to stop venom immunotherapy [1]. However, some clinicians use IgG tests when evaluating individuals for stinging insect allergies, sensitivities, or tolerance.

We offer stinging insect IgG tests to support providers who use them in their evaluation of patients experiencing adverse reactions to insect venom.
