The Mouse Serum Protein Allergy Test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in mouse serum. It is ordered when a person has symptoms after exposure to mice, such as sneezing, wheezing, or hives, and the cause is unclear.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to mouse serum proteins — The main marker; it shows whether your immune system has made antibodies to mouse proteins.
  • Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level; helps give context but does not diagnose a specific allergy.
  • Mouse albumin — A common mouse protein that can trigger reactions in sensitive people.
  • Mouse urine proteins — Proteins in mouse urine are a frequent cause of allergy symptoms.

Who it is for

This test is typically ordered by an allergist or primary care clinician for people who work with mice, keep them as pets, or have unexplained allergy symptoms after being around mice.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is required. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, as some can affect allergy test results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a level for each mouse protein, often as a number or a class from negative to high. A clinician interprets these results along with your symptoms and history. This information is general and not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
