    Two distinct colored lines appear. One line in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T).
    This indicates that the specimen contains detectable levels of IgE antibodies.

    Note: The intensity of the color in the test line region (T) will cary depending on the concentration og IgE present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of red in the test region should be considered positive.
