Understanding Allergy - Trees Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP in Allahabad
What is Allergy - Trees Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP in Allahabad?
An Allergy - Trees Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP is a blood test that checks for allergic responses to common tree pollens. The test also measures the total amount of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood, which are produced by the immune system in response to an allergic reaction. Doctors may order this test if you experience unusual symptoms like sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, runny nose, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing. Identifying the specific tree pollens that trigger your allergy can help you manage your symptoms and take preventive measures to minimize exposure to these allergens that can trigger your allergic reaction. No fasting is required for this panel. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, clinical history, a record of information about an individual's health is needed at the time of sample collection.
Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

Contains 5 tests
Total IgE
The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.
Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

Alder (Alnus Incana)
The Alder (Alnus Incana) test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in the alder‘s pollen. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially during the peak pollen seasons. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to alder trees, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Birch (Betula Verrucosa)
The Birch (Betula Verrucosa) test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in the birch‘s pollen. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially during the peak pollen seasons. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to birch trees, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Oak
The Oak test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in the oak pollen. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially during the peak pollen seasons. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to oak, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Willow
The Willow test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in the willow‘s pollen. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially during the peak pollen seasons. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to willow trees, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
