Allergen Specific IgE Rabbit Hair
Use
Allergen‑specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) testing for rabbit hair is intended to detect IgE antibodies that indicate sensitization to rabbit hair allergens, contributing to the diagnosis of allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, or contact urticaria due to rabbit hair exposure.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This IgE assay may not confirm clinical allergy on its own; results should be interpreted in context of patient history and symptoms. Cross-reactivity with other animal-derived allergens may occur. Negative results do not rule out non‑IgE mediated hypersensitivity or sensitization below assay detection limit.
