Total IgE

ImmunoCAP Total IgE measures the total amount of circulating IgE in human serum or plasma

IgE antibodies appear as a result of sensitisation to allergens. In most patients suffering from asthma, rhinitis, or eczema due to allergy, the concentration of total IgE may be elevated.

Clinical utility:

Total IgE measurement provides an aid in the clinical diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergic disorders

In suspected occupational allergy, total IgE measurement provides a good indication of sensitisation caused by high allergen exposure without atopic background.

    <10 years of age, total IgE levels increase. At 10 years of age, total IgE levels peak and then decline to levels that are 
    maintained throughout adulthood
  • The measuring range for an undiluted sample is 2–5000 kU/l
  • For young children, an application with the range of 0–100 kU/l is available
