What this test is

This test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that are specific to mouse epithelium, which is material from mouse skin and tissue. It is a type of allergy blood test that can help identify sensitization to mouse allergens. The test does not diagnose asthma or other conditions on its own.

What it measures

  • Mouse epithelium-specific IgE — Reflects the level of allergic antibody directed against mouse tissue proteins.
  • Total IgE (if included) — May be reported to provide context, though it is not specific to mouse allergy.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when a person reports allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or wheezing that could be linked to mouse exposure. It can also be used to help evaluate symptoms in workplaces or homes where mice may be present.

Preparation

Preparation is generally minimal, but you should follow the instructions provided by the collection laboratory. This may include avoiding certain medications or fasting, depending on the lab's protocol.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric value that indicates the level of mouse-specific IgE in the blood, often alongside a reference range. Reference ranges can vary by laboratory, so the lab's own range should be used for interpretation.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications or foods should be avoided before the blood draw.
  • How long results usually take at that specific lab.
  • Whether a referral or insurance pre-authorization is needed.
