About Cat Dander Allergy Test | Allergic To Cats? in San Leandro
The Cat Dander Allergy test detects IgE antibodies that react to cat allergens.
Cat dander refers to microscopic flakes of skin, along with proteins found in cat saliva and urine, that become airborne and settle on surfaces. The major allergen, Fel d 1, is produced primarily in saliva and sebaceous glands and is carried on dander particles.
A cat dander allergy test measures the amount of allergen-specific IgE in a blood sample. IgE is an antibody the immune system produces when it identifies a substance as a threat. Elevated specific IgE to cat dander indicates sensitization, meaning the immune system has been primed to react on exposure.
Sensitization does not always produce symptoms, and symptoms can occur without markedly elevated IgE. Results are therefore interpreted alongside a person's history of exposure and clinical signs. A small blood sample is required, and results are typically available within a few business days.
