An allergy to sheep is uncommon, but it is a real sensitivity that can affect people who live near, work with, or regularly visit animals. The Sheep Allergy Test measures IgE antibodies produced in response to sheep epithelium, the tissue from the animal's skin and coat. This is an antibody blood test, not a skin-prick procedure, and results are reported within a few business days.

About Sheep Allergy Test | Allergic To Sheep? in Kettering

What the Sheep Allergy Test measures

The test uses a blood sample to measure immunoglobulin E, or IgE, directed against sheep epithelium. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions. When a person is sensitized to sheep proteins, the immune system may produce IgE that binds to those proteins.

Results are reported as a quantitative IgE level. A detectable level indicates sensitization to sheep epithelium, but sensitization and clinical allergy are not the same thing. Some people with measurable IgE have no symptoms on exposure, and some with symptoms have low or borderline results.

Because of that distinction, the test is best interpreted alongside a person's history of symptoms, exposure, and any other findings a clinician considers relevant. A laboratory result does not by itself diagnose an allergy or rule one out.
