Cat Serum Albumin (re220) IgE details
What Cat Serum Albumin (re220) IgE shows
Cat serum albumin is a protein found in cat blood, dander and saliva, and it is one of the individual allergen components of cats. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to it, which helps give a more detailed picture of cat sensitization than a whole cat dander test. Albumins from different mammals are similar, so sensitization to cat albumin can come with sensitization to dog and other animals, and in some people it is linked to reactions after eating pork. A positive result shows sensitization to this component. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and other cat allergen results.
