hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained sections. Special histochemical stains, such as alcian blue, Giemsa, or
periodic acid-schiff may be necessary in some cases. Interpretation is based on evaluation of patterns,
including architectural and cytologic details, which are included in a microscopic description.

Dermatophatoides microceras, IgE
Clinical Information: Clinical manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (allergic) diseases are
caused by the release of proinflammatory mediators (histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins) from
immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized effector cells (mast cells and basophils) when cell-bound IgE
antibodies interact with allergen. In vitro serum testing for IgE antibodies provides an indication of the
immune response to allergen(s) that may be associated with allergic disease. The allergens chosen for
testing often depend upon the age of the patient, history of allergen exposure, season of the year, and
