Dog Dander (e5) IgE details
What Dog Dander (e5) IgE shows
Dog dander is made up of skin flakes, along with proteins from saliva and hair, that dogs shed into the home. These particles stick to furniture and clothing, so exposure can happen even where no dog lives. This test measures IgE antibodies to dog dander to check for sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, hives or asthma around dogs. No dog breed is truly allergen-free, and component tests can sometimes show which dog proteins you react to. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
