Total IgE

A Total IgE test measures the amount of IgE (immunoglobulin E) in the blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system.

Normally, IgE is present in very small amounts in the blood. It belongs to a class of immunoglobulins that includes five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. The rise in the production of IgE is seen in cases of response to allergens in asthma or certain parasitic infections. Other allergens can include plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, strawberries, and other allergens substances.
