Cyrex Array 14 — Mucosal Immune Reactivity Screen

Description

Cyrex Array 14 — Mucosal Immune Reactivity Screen™

The mucosal immune system — particularly secretory IgA (sIgA) — is the first line of immune defence in the gut, respiratory tract, and mucous membranes. Array 14 assesses sIgA-mediated immune reactivity against 28 dietary and environmental antigens at the mucosal surface, revealing immune activation patterns not detectable by standard serum IgG/IgA testing.

Antigens Tested (Salivary IgA):

• Wheat/Gluten fractions (α-Gliadin, Glutenin)
• Cow’s Milk proteins (Casein, Whey)
• Egg (Albumin)
• Soy protein
• Corn (Zein)
• Peanut
• Almond
• Sesame
• Yeast (Baker’s and Brewer’s)
• Bacterial antigens: LPS, H. pylori, Candida albicans
• Gluten cross-reactive foods: Rice, Potato, Chocolate
• Environmental: Dust mite, Mould antigens (Aspergillus, Alternaria)

Why Mucosal IgA Matters:

Many gut and respiratory reactions are mediated at the mucosal surface via sIgA before they show up in the bloodstream. This panel reveals early-stage mucosal immune activation that serum tests miss, and is particularly useful for respiratory food allergies, digestive symptoms without positive serum tests, and oral allergy syndrome.

Sample Type:

Saliva — simple collection at home.
