Allergen Profile, Horse, IgE With Component Reflex

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood to detect an immune response to horse dander or hair. If antibodies are detected, the test may further analyze specific proteins to help determine if the reaction is a direct allergy to horses or a cross-reaction to similar substances found in other animals. This information helps explain symptoms such as sneezing, itching, or wheezing after contact with horses. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not confirm a clinical diagnosis of allergy without a doctor's review of your medical history.
