Comprehensive allergy test to identify IgE antibodies to 12 tree pollen allergens.
This test measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies produced in response to specific tree pollen allergens. It helps determine if you have an allergy to tree pollen. The panel measures immune responses to various tree pollens, including maple, birch, mountain cedar, and others. A healthcare provider will interpret the results with your medical history to diagnose an allergy and recommend treatment if needed. Results help identify potential triggers for allergic reactions.

What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required. Continue eating your normal diet for at least 2–4 weeks before testing — avoiding suspected trigger foods can cause false negatives. Inform the clinic of any antihistamines or immunosuppressants you're taking, as these can affect results.
Biomarkers Tested
2A group of proteins in blood including antibodies (immunoglobulins), transport proteins, and enzymes. Elevated globulin can indicate chronic infection, inflammation, or blood cancers. Calculated by subtracting albumin from total protein.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a protein associated with allergic reactions that is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. IgE functions as part of the body's immune system (its defence against 'intruders').
