ImmunoCAP cellulose displays cross-reactive carbohydrate (CCD) epitopes and can cause false-positive test results in patients with high anti-CCD IgE antibody levels

Cellulose-based IgE assays may deliver false-positive test results of up to 2 kUa/L with recombinant allergens in strongly CCD-positive patient sera due to the presence of glycoproteins in the cellulose matrix.
