What is Allergic Reaction? • Over reaction to common environment substance • Mite、pollen、hair、fungi • Soybean、wheat、milk、pork etal.
What Causes for Allergies? • Type I acute anaphylactic reaction • IgE - degranulation of Mast cell • Mediator released • Atopy、Dermatitis、Asthma
IgE - Degranulation of Mast Cells Cell-bound form IgE
Atopic Canine • Atopic Dermatitis (AD) • inhalent or GI-intake? • Age of the onset: 1-3 years • Clinical presentation: pruritus、erythema、chewing、licking、salivary staining
Health Care of Atopic Pet • Rule out other disease • Avoid second infection • Pet’s serum specific IgE profile • Food design based on allergen result • immunotherapy
Traditional Diagnosis • Clinical signs and history • Skin test • Serological test • ELISA/ • RAST(radioallergosorbent test)
What defect about skin test? • Shaved the hair • Dangerous to pet • Food allergen unable • 8-10 allergen could be tested at one time
What defect about traditional serological test? • Too many false negative results • Sensitivity is not enough • Too many false positive results • Specificity is not enough • Score is confused • Signal range is too small
Our Total Solution • Immunostrip • Allergen Array • Health Food • Probiotic • Balance TH1/TH2 • Low allergic Food • Formula based on test result
