Ulta Lab Tests

Cat Dander Component Panel

The Cat Dander Component Panel measures IgE antibodies to Fel d 1, Fel d 2, Fel d 4, and Fel d 7, the primary cat allergens responsible for allergic rhinitis, asthma, and skin reactions. This test helps identify which specific proteins trigger symptoms, improving accuracy over standard cat dander testing. Doctors use it to confirm cat allergy, assess severity, and guide personalized management, including avoidance strategies and immunotherapy.

Clinical Significance

Cat Dander Component Panel - Like respiratory allergies, animal allergies pose a significant risk for the development of asthma and rhinitis. Blood IgE tests using whole allergen extracts from cats provide a sensitive screening method to diagnose pet sensitization. In addition, the cat dander component panel is an IgE blood test using individual recombinant proteins from cats, improving specificity compared to animal extract assays. Thus, the cat dander component panel helps differentiate an actual cat allergy from a cross-reactive pet allergy.
