Useful For

Testing for IgE antibodies may be useful to establish the diagnosis

of an allergic disease and to define the allergens responsible for

eliciting signs and symptoms.

 

Testing also may be useful to identify allergens responsible for

anaphylaxis, to confirm sensitization to particular allergens prior to

beginning immunotherapy, and to investigate the specificity of allergic

reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens.
