What this test is

This is a blood test that looks for immunoglobulin E antibodies that bind to ovalbumin, a major protein in egg white. The presence of these antibodies suggests the immune system may react to egg white proteins. It is one of several tests a clinician might use when evaluating a possible egg allergy.

What it measures

  • Ovalbumin-specific IgE — reflects the amount of IgE antibody in the blood that binds to ovalbumin
  • Total IgE — sometimes included to show overall allergic antibody level, though it is not specific to egg
  • Egg white-specific IgE — may be measured alongside ovalbumin to assess sensitivity to other egg white proteins
  • Ovomucoid-specific IgE — another egg white protein that may be tested to give a fuller picture of egg allergy

What the test involves

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

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when someone has had symptoms such as hives, stomach upset, or breathing problems after eating eggs or foods containing egg. It can also be used to check for possible sensitivity before receiving a vaccine that contains egg white proteins.

Preparation

No special preparation is usually needed for a blood allergy test, but follow the instructions provided by the collection site. If you take medications, ask the lab or your clinician whether any should be paused before the draw.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric level of ovalbumin-specific IgE, often with a qualitative category such as negative, low, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so results should be interpreted in the context of your symptoms and history.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications should be paused before the blood draw
  • How long results typically take at that location
  • Whether a copy of the results will be sent to your clinician
