Allergen, Individual-Animal Dog Dander E5

The Allergen, Individual-Animal Dog Dander E5 test is an at‑home, component‑resolved IgE assay that detects sensitisation to a specific dog dander protein (Can f 5). It measures specific IgE antibody levels from a small blood sample collected at home and analysed in an accredited laboratory to determine whether symptoms are driven by this particular dog allergen component. Results help clinicians and patients in Dubai and across the UAE to personalise avoidance strategies, select appropriate pharmacotherapy, and consider targeted immunotherapy where indicated.
