1) Single components, such as Der p 1 or Der p 2, in ISU. |
2) Single source allergens, corresponding to the sum of the components, such as Der f 1 and Der f 2 for Dermatophagoides pt. |
3) Comprehensive source allergens (such as Der f 1, Der f 2 and Der p10 – a component highly homologous to the Der f 10 that is not included in the ISAC panel). |
4) Cross-reactive families (such as tropomyosins, represented by Ani s 3, Bla g 7, Der p 10 and Pen m 1), as well as PR-10 and profilins, among others. |
5) Allergen groups (such as mites, grasses and trees), represented by the sum of the score of the components belonging to those groups. |
6) Enlarged component groups (such as inhalants, food, latex and Hymenoptera venoms), represented by the sum of the score of the components belonging to those large groups. |
7) The total amounts of the scores for either genuine or cross-reactive inhalant components are also calculated to support the patient’s phenotyping. |
