• Mouse Epithelia (e71) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to mouse epithelia (skin and dander) to check for allergic sensitization in people exposed to mice at home or at work.
• Mouse Urine Proteins (e72) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to mouse urine proteins, a major source of mouse allergen, to check for sensitization in people exposed to mice.
• MSH2 Looks for inherited changes in the MSH2 gene, a DNA mismatch repair gene, as part of testing for Lynch syndrome.
• MSH6 Looks for inherited changes in the MSH6 gene, a DNA mismatch repair gene, as part of testing for Lynch syndrome.
• M-Spike A distinctive spike seen on protein electrophoresis caused by an abnormal, single clone of antibody protein. Used to screen for and monitor conditions like multiple myeloma.
• Mucor racemosus (m4) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to the mold Mucor racemosus to check for allergic sensitization that may contribute to nasal, eye or asthma symptoms.
• Mugwort (w6) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to mugwort pollen to check for allergic sensitization that may explain late summer and early fall hay fever or asthma symptoms.
• Mumps Virus Antibody (IgG), Immune Status Indicates immunity to mumps, whether from past infection or vaccination.
• Mushroom (f212) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to edible mushroom to check for allergic sensitization to this food, helping explain reactions that happen after eating it.
• Mushroom (f212) IgG4 Measures IgG4 antibodies to mushroom, which mainly reflect that you have eaten this food; their link to food-related symptoms is debated.
• Mustard (f89) IgE Measures IgE antibodies to mustard to check for allergic sensitization to this food, helping explain reactions that happen after eating it.
• Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin (MCV) Antibody Measures antibodies to mutated citrullinated vimentin (MCV), a type of anti-citrullinated protein antibody used to help evaluate rheumatoid arthritis.
• Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgG) An antibody indicating past exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common cause of 'walking pneumonia.'
• Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Antibody (IgM) An antibody indicating a recent or current Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection ('walking pneumonia').
• Myelocytes The absolute number of myelocytes, early immature white blood cells normally found only in bone marrow, in your blood.
• Myelocytes (%) The percentage of your white blood cells that are myelocytes, early immature white blood cells normally confined to the bone marrow.
• MyeloperoxidaseMPO An enzyme released by certain white blood cells during inflammation; also studied as a marker of cardiovascular plaque instability.
• Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Antibodies Also called p-ANCA/MPO antibodies — autoantibodies associated with certain forms of vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation).
• Myoglobin A protein released from damaged muscle tissue, including heart muscle. Rises quickly after injury, though it's not specific to the heart.
• Myristic, C14:0 Measures myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid found in dairy fat and coconut and palm kernel oils, as part of a serum fatty acid profile.
