8 Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Allergy Testing Platform
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50+ unique molec...
The Role of IgE and IgG in Allergy Testing
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives...
Featured Biomarkers from A to Z
This handout briefly describes the role of several important hormones measured in research.
Understanding IgE Allergy Test Results
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives...
Improving Food Elimination Diets with IgG Testing
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food observe...

Stool-Based Biomarkers to Differentiate Between IBD and IBS
What are IBD and IBS? Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two different gastrointestinal tract issues affecting millions of people every day. Although there is some overlap between symptoms of IBD and IBS, differences still remain in regards to pathologies, risks...
Investigating Bioactive Leptin in Obesity Research
The Biology of Leptin Leptin is a hormone composed of 167 amino acids and is primarily produced by adipocytes, therefore providing a signal to the energy state of organisms. By binding to the leptin receptor, the analyte influences activity within the JAK-STAT pathway and thereby regulates energy m...
PI3K Delta Signaling in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Date: September 6, 2016 Author: Andrea Tarbet, Product Marketing Associate at ALPCO Signaling pathways dictate the differentiation, activation, and functions of immune cells.  Even the slightest problem in one cell signaling pathway can transform the immune system and turn it against the body,...
[Infographic] The Benefits of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for IBD
The Burden of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the US and Canada More than 1 million people in the US and 200,000 people in Canada are currently living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This number is projected to grow exponentially over the next 10 years1,2. As the prevalence of IBD increases, s...
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Biomarkers
Introduction Humans and the environment are exposed to numerous chemicals every day1. Each year, about 2,000 new chemicals are manufactured in the U.S.2. Research findings over the years have shown how some chemicals known as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can interact with the endocrine sys...
Emerging Biomarker Research in NAFLD and NASH
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the western hemisphere affecting 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children1.  Today, liver biopsies are the only gold standard for precise diagnosis of NAFLD2. Because of this, there are tremendous efforts on the ...

Adipokines and Adipose Tissue-Liver Crosstalk in Energy Metabolism
Research over the past several decades examining adipokines and adipose tissue-liver crosstalk in energy metabolism has revealed that adipose tissue is a very important metabolically active endocrine organ1. White, brown, and beige adipose tissue generate and secrete adipokines, such as adiponectin ...
Investigating Immunogenicity of IBD Biologics
Biologics have been commonly prescribed as therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) since the late 1990s. However, research demonstrates that not all individuals respond to the first biologic taken and many lose response over time1. As a result, there is a great need to explore the immunogenic...
