What it measures
- Orange-specific IgE — An antibody that can attach to orange proteins and trigger allergy symptoms.
- Total IgE — A general measure of antibody levels that can be elevated in allergic people.
- Component proteins (for example, lipid transfer proteins) — Specific orange proteins that may help show which part of the fruit is involved.
- Cross-reactive markers — Proteins shared with other fruits or pollens that may explain related reactions.
Preparation
No fasting is required, and the blood draw can be done at any time of day. Tell the clinician about any medicines you take, because some drugs can affect test results.

Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range, and a clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms and history. A positive result alone does not prove an allergy, and a negative result does not rule one out. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
