An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain substances like food, dust, pollen, drugs or even animal dander. These reactions normally do not occur in others. The substance causing the reaction is an allergen. Immunoglobin E is an antibody that the body produces in case of an allergic reaction. A total IgE test is a blood test used to measure the complete IgE levels in the blood, but it does not indicate what is the specific allergen causing the reaction. Allergy-animal panel is a screening that tests the body's reaction to 5 different animal sources including Cat dander, Dog dander, Horse dander, Cow dander, and Guinea pig epithelium using the ImmunoCAP technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly. Along with this, the allergen-specific IgE levels are also checked.

  • An animal allergy panel is done in cases where animal sources are suspected as the exact source of the allergy.
  • This allergy test is used to determine vulnerability to five different animal sources.

Animal allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 5 different animal sources. These include Cat dander, Dog dander, Horse dander, Cow dander, and Guinea pig epithelium.

Total IgE levels are also measured.

Animal allergy test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer. 

Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. 
Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
