Order Mouse Allergy Test | Allergic to MiceA mouse allergy test measures IgE antibodies that target proteins found in mouse epithelium, the tissue that includes skin, hair, and dander. Sensitization to these proteins can produce symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and wheezing when a person is near mice or in spaces where they have been housed. This panel uses a blood sample to assess that antibody response.
About Mouse Allergy Test | Allergic to Mice in Bloomington
Mouse epithelium contains allergenic proteins that become airborne on small particles and can remain in dust long after an animal is removed.
An IgE antibody test for mouse epithelium detects the immune system's sensitization to proteins associated with mouse tissue. The presence of specific IgE indicates that the immune system has recognized these proteins and may mount a response on exposure.
Exposure can occur through direct contact with mice, through contaminated bedding or cage materials, and through dust in rooms where mice live or have lived. Because the allergenic particles are small, they can be inhaled and reach the lower airways as well as the nose and eyes.
Results are interpreted by a clinician alongside a person's history and physical findings. A positive result shows sensitization but does not by itself confirm that symptoms are caused by mouse exposure, and a negative result may still require clinical correlation depending on the circumstances.
