The Regional Area 13 panel is a multi-allergen IgE blood test that screens for common environmental allergens associated with a coastal western region. It measures 25 allergen-specific IgE markers from a single blood sample, covering tree, grass, and weed pollens along with molds, dust mite, and animal dander. A healthcare provider may order it when allergy symptoms are seasonal or year-round and a broad regional profile is more useful than testing one allergen at a time. Results help guide further evaluation and discussion of possible triggers.

• Tree pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against tree pollens such as oak, cedar, and sycamore; assessed for seasonal symptoms.
• Grass pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against grass pollens such as Bermuda, ryegrass, and fescue; common in mild coastal climates.
• Weed pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against weed pollens such as ragweed, sagebrush, and pigweed; linked to late-season symptoms.
• Mold spore-specific IgE Antibodies against mold spores such as Alternaria and Cladosporium; relevant in coastal humidity.
• Indoor allergen-specific IgE Antibodies against dust mite, cat, dog, and cockroach allergens; assessed for year-round symptoms.

• People with seasonal or year-round nasal or eye allergy symptoms
• Individuals who suspect sensitivity to coastal pollens, molds, or indoor allergens
• Those who want a broad regional allergy profile from one blood draw
• People whose individual allergen testing has been inconclusive
• Anyone whose provider recommends environmental allergy screening

• No fasting is required for most IgE allergy panels
• The sample can be collected at any time of day
• Tell the healthcare provider about all medications you take
• Staying well hydrated can make the blood draw easier

This panel reports an IgE level or class for each allergen tested, spanning seasonal pollens, mold spores, and year-round indoor allergens. Low or undetectable values generally mean the immune system has not produced detectable antibodies, while raised values indicate sensitization. The results do not by themselves diagnose an allergy, because sensitization may exist without symptoms. Matching abnormal markers to the times and places symptoms appear helps a clinician identify probable triggers. Review the findings with a healthcare provider before changing your environment.
