Dog Serum Albumin (re221) IgE details
What Dog Serum Albumin (re221) IgE shows
Dog serum albumin, also called Can f 3, is a blood protein that is also present in dog dander and saliva. This component test measures IgE antibodies to that one specific protein, rather than to a whole dander extract. Albumins from different mammals look alike, so a positive result can point to cross-reactivity with cats, horses and other furry animals, and sometimes with meats. It is usually interpreted together with whole dog dander and other dog components to build a fuller picture. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
