What is this test?

This test measures the amount of total immunoglobulin E (IgE) in a mouse's urine. IgE is an antibody involved in allergic and other immune responses.

Why might I need this test?

Researchers may use this test when studying allergies, parasites, immune disorders, or the effects of experimental treatments in mice. It is not a standard human patient test.

How is the test performed?

Urine is collected and analyzed in a laboratory using a validated immunoassay or another appropriate method. The laboratory reports the total IgE concentration and, when required, the measurement unit and collection conditions.

How do I prepare for the test?

For animal research, follow the study's approved collection protocol, including the collection period, container, storage conditions, and sample labeling. The collection method and any fasting or medication instructions should be provided by the study veterinarian or research team.

Frequently asked questions

What does IgE measure?
IgE is an antibody that can bind to immune cells involved in allergic and antiparasitic responses. The test estimates the total IgE present in the urine sample.
Is this a standard human laboratory test?
No. The name identifies a mouse urine assay, which is generally used in animal research or veterinary studies rather than routine human testing.
What factors can affect the urine IgE result?
Results may vary with the mouse's age, health, immune status, medications, urine concentration, and the collection period. Results should therefore be interpreted using the laboratory's validated method and the study's reference information.
