What it measures
- Papaya-specific IgE — The main marker; it measures antibodies your immune system may make against papaya proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help provide context for the specific result.
- Cross-reactive allergens — Sometimes checked because papaya can share similar proteins with latex or other fruits.
Preparation
