LRA by ELISA/ACT® tests uses a breakthrough technology that allows the laboratory, for the first time, to observe immune reactions of specialized white cells (lymphocytes) just as they occur in your body. By looking directly at lymphocytes, the LRA detects all three types of delayed food and chemical hypersensitivities, type 2 (includes IgA, IgM, IgG), type 3 Immune Complex, and type 4 T cell-mediated.
The LRA Basic Panel should be considered when patients present with simple, recent-onset conditions or symptoms of food & environmental allergies.
