About Mouse Allergy Test | Allergic to Mice in Los Gatos
Mouse allergy testing provides objective evidence of sensitization to mouse allergens.
Mouse allergens are proteins released from mouse skin, hair, and urine. These particles can become airborne and settle on surfaces, making exposure possible even without direct contact with the animal.
The test detects specific IgE antibodies in the blood. When the immune system has been sensitized to mouse epithelium, it produces these antibodies, which bind to the allergen and can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, wheezing, or skin irritation.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory. Results are reported as a quantitative level or a class score, indicating the degree of sensitization. Elevated IgE to Mouse Epithelium suggests an allergic response, though clinical correlation with symptoms is essential for diagnosis.
