The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.

Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

The Cat Dander test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens found in cat dander. These allergens are present in cat’s dead skin scales, saliva, and sweat on their fur, which can become airborne and trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels in response to cat dander indicate an allergic sensitivity, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Cow Dander test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens found in cow dander. These allergens are present in cow’s dead skin scales, saliva, and sweat on their fur, which can become airborne and trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels in response to cow dander indicate an allergic sensitivity, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Dog Dander test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens found in dog dander. These allergens are present in dog’s dead skin scales, saliva, and sweat on their fur, which can become airborne and trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels in response to dog dander indicate an allergic sensitivity, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Horse dander test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens found in horse dander. These allergens are present in horse’s dead skin scales, saliva, and sweat on their fur, which can become airborne and trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels in response to horse dander indicate an allergic sensitivity, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
