What it measures
- Specific IgE to mouse allergen — Antibodies your immune system makes in response to mouse proteins.
- Mouse serum albumin (MSA) — A mouse protein often linked to reactions in lab or animal-care settings.
- Mouse urine proteins — Proteins in mouse urine are a common cause of indoor allergy symptoms.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medicines unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for each mouse allergen, showing whether sensitization is detected. A clinician interprets the numbers alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic to mice?
Not necessarily. It shows your immune system has made antibodies to mouse proteins. Your clinician considers this with your symptoms and exposure.
Do I need to avoid mice before the test?
No. The test measures antibodies in your blood, so recent exposure does not need to be avoided.
Is this test painful?
It uses a standard blood draw, so you may feel a brief pinch when the needle goes in.
How soon will I get results?
Results are typically available in 1 to 3 business days, though timing can vary by lab.
