What this test is

The Mouse Serum Protein Allergy Test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that target proteins found in mouse serum. It is a blood test that helps evaluate whether a person has become sensitized to mouse serum proteins.

What it measures

  • Mouse serum protein-specific IgE — Reflects the level of allergic antibodies directed against mouse serum proteins.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample 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 a person reports allergy symptoms after exposure to mice or mouse serum, such as in a laboratory or home setting. It can help determine whether those symptoms are related to an allergic response to mouse serum proteins.

Preparation

No special preparation is usually required for this test, but follow the collection lab's instructions. Check with the lab about any medications or other factors that might affect the results.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numerical value or a qualitative category, such as negative or positive, depending on the lab. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your clinician will interpret your result in the context of your symptoms and history.
