Allergens − Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Antibodies Single Allergen IgE Antibody This test is principally useful to confirm the allergen specificity in patients with clinically documented allergic disease. Therefore, requests for these tests should be made after a careful and comprehensive medical history is taken. Utilized in this manner, a single allergen immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody test is cost-effective. A positive result may indicate that allergic signs and symptoms are caused by exposure to the specific allergen. Multi-allergen IgE Antibodies Profile Tests A number of related allergens are grouped together for ordering convenience. Each is tested individually and reported. Sample volume requirements are the same as if the tests were ordered individually. Panel Tests A pooled allergen reagent is used for each panel; therefore, the panel is reported with a single qualitative class result and concentration. The multi-allergen IgE antibody panel, combined with measurement of IgE in serum, is an appropriate first-order test for allergic disease. Positive results indicate the possibility of allergic disease induced by one or more allergens present in the multi-allergen panel. Negative results may rule out allergy, except in rare cases of allergic disease induced by exposure to a single allergen. Panel testing requires less specimen volume and less cost for ruling out allergic response; however, individual (single) allergen responses cannot be identified. In cases of a positive panel test, follow-up testing must be performed to differentiate between individual allergens in the panel. Note: Only 1 result is generated for each panel. Panels may be ordered with or without concurrent measurement of total IgE. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Measurement of the concentration of IgE in serum may be useful in the initial evaluation of patients suspected of having an allergic disease. Serum IgE concentrations greater than mean +2 SD are associated with allergic disease; concentrations greater than the mean +1 SD are suspicious for allergic disease. However, some allergic individuals do not have above-normal concentrations, while some individuals may have elevated total IgE in the absence of clinical allergic disease. Measurement of serum IgE along with the multi-allergen IgE antibody test may offer greater sensitivity for the detection of allergic disease than either test alone. ©2021 Mayo Foundation for Medical
