Nearly everything: Immunocap ige is the most commonly employed method to test allergy after allergy skin testing. It can be tested to nearly all allergens available. Blood test for allergy is meaningful when strongly positive but has a high false-negative rate when compared to allergy skin testing. The allergens used in the blood testing are often different from those used in allergy skin testing.
