This panel helps identify allergic sensitivities to various weed species and enables doctors to tailor treatment plans accordingly. This panel is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Lucknow.
This panel is particularly helpful for individuals who experience symptoms like nasal congestion, cough, watery eyes, sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, hives, etc., during pollen seasons.

Understanding Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP
A weed pollen allergy is a common seasonal allergy. It happens when the body reacts to pollen from unwanted plants (weeds), especially in late summer and fall. Pollen is a fine powder that plants release to reproduce. When someone with a weed pollen allergy breathes in pollen, their immune system sees it as a threat. This causes the body to make IgE antibodies, which then trigger an allergic reaction.
The Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP measures specific IgE antibodies to different weed pollens, such as mugwort, common ragweed, English plantain, goosefoot, and salwort. It also measures the total IgE levels, which represent the overall amount of allergy-related antibodies in the blood.
This panel is particularly helpful for individuals who experience symptoms like a stuffy nose, cough, watery or itchy eyes, sneezing, skin rashes, or hives during pollen season. It's also useful for those with a family history of allergies or asthma, as they may be more likely to have allergies. Knowing which weeds cause the allergy helps doctors make a personal plan to reduce symptoms and avoid triggers.
Generally, no special preparation is needed for the Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP. It is important to inform the doctor about any medications being taken (e.g., antihistamines), as they may affect the results.
A positive test result means that there may be an allergy to one or more of the weeds in this panel. Conversely, a negative result means that the individual is not allergic to those weeds. However, it does not eliminate the possibility of allergies to other substances not covered in this panel.
Lab test results can vary depending on the specific test kit used, as different methods and the quality of allergens used can affect the quantification of IgE. Therefore, these results are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms.
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.
What does Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?
Contains 6 testsThe Allergy - Weeds Pollen Panel, ImmunoCAP helps detect weed-associated pollen allergy to common ragweed, mugwort, English plantain, goosefoot, and saltwort. It measures IgE antibodies to help doctors assess the severity of your allergy and guide future treatment.
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.

The Common Ragweed test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in the common ragweed‘s pollen. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, especially during the peak pollen seasons. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to common ragweed 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.
