Swine Epithelia (e83) IgE details
What Swine Epithelia (e83) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies specific to swine epithelia, the skin cells and dander shed by pigs. Exposure is mostly occupational, such as on pig farms, in veterinary work or in meat processing, but it can also occur with pet pigs. Testing can help explain nasal, eye, skin or breathing symptoms that appear around pigs. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to pig proteins, not necessarily that they cause your symptoms. Results are read against your exposure and symptoms, and sensitization to other farm animals may also be checked.
