Steroids and Testing
Several
studies have shown that in normal therapeutic doses,
steroids have no immunosuppresive effect. Therefore levels
of IgE remain the same whether an animal is on steroids at
the time of testing or not. Steroids play a significant
role in the prevention of degranulation of mast cells and
basophils, hence the need to have a period of withdrawal
for tests that rely on this degranulation for their
results (such as the skin test). It is therefore
not necessary to withdraw an animal from steroid drugs
prior to testing
as is the
case with skin testing.
