Allergen, Individual-Animal Rabbit epithelium E82

The Allergen, Individual-Animal Rabbit Epithelium E82 test measures specific IgE antibodies directed against rabbit epithelium to determine sensitisation to rabbit dander and epithelial proteins. Using a small venous blood sample collected safely at home by a trained phlebotomist, the laboratory quantifies sIgE levels to confirm or exclude an IgE‑mediated allergic response. This targeted test is important for diagnosing causes of allergic rhinitis, asthma exacerbations, or atopic dermatitis related to rabbit exposure and supports clinicians in planning avoidance strategies or immunotherapy for residents across Dubai and the UAE.

• Rabbit epithelium specific IgE (sIgE)
• sIgE concentration (kU/L)
• Result interpretation class (0–6)

• Recurrent sneezing, nasal congestion or itchy eyes after contact with rabbits
• Worsening asthma symptoms with suspected rabbit exposure
• Chronic or intermittent atopic dermatitis linked to household pets
• Before adopting or bringing a rabbit into a home with allergy-prone individuals
• Occupational exposure (veterinary staff, breeders, laboratory workers)

• Accurate identification of sensitisation to rabbit epithelium
• Convenient at-home blood collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Clear sIgE quantification to guide avoidance or treatment decisions
• Laboratory report with interpretation to share with your clinician
• Supports decisions on immunotherapy or further specialist referral

• At-home venous blood sample (typically 3–6 mL) collected by a phlebotomist
• No fasting required prior to sample collection
• Inform the phlebotomist/clinic about recent allergen immunotherapy or biologic anti‑IgE treatments
• Provide Emirates ID and contact details for sample pickup and reporting within the UAE
