Mouse (e88) IgE details
What Mouse (e88) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies to a mix of mouse allergens, which come mainly from mouse urine, dander and hair. Exposure happens in homes with mice, with pet mice, and in laboratories or animal facilities. A positive result can help explain sneezing, itchy eyes, wheezing or skin reactions around mice, and sensitization to mouse allergen is a recognized trigger for asthma in some homes and workplaces. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and exposure. Related tests look separately at mouse epithelia and mouse urine proteins.
