Sample

Blood draw or sample collection at a local center

The Regional Area 2 panel is a multi-allergen IgE blood test that screens for common environmental allergens associated with the lower Mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. It measures 24 allergen-specific IgE markers from a single blood sample, covering tree, grass, and weed pollens along with molds, dust mite, cockroach, and animal dander. A healthcare provider may order it when allergy symptoms are persistent or seasonal and a broad regional profile is more helpful than testing a single allergen. Results support further evaluation and management discussions.

• Tree pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against tree pollens such as oak, cedar, and maple; used to assess spring sensitization.
• Grass pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against grass pollens such as timothy, Bermuda, and rye; common seasonal markers.
• Weed pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against weed pollens such as ragweed, pigweed, and plantain; linked to late-season symptoms.
• Mold spore-specific IgE Antibodies against mold spores such as Alternaria and Cladosporium; relevant in humid conditions.
• Indoor allergen-specific IgE Antibodies against dust mite, cockroach, cat, and dog allergens; assessed for year-round symptoms.

• People with seasonal or year-round nasal or eye allergy symptoms
• Individuals who suspect sensitivity to pollens, molds, or indoor allergens
• Those who want a broad regional allergy profile from one blood draw
• People whose individual allergen tests have 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

Each pollen, mold, and indoor allergen in this panel is reported with its own IgE level or class. An undetectable or low result suggests no sensitization to that specific trigger, while an elevated result means the immune system has produced antibodies against it. Sensitization does not always translate into symptoms, and a normal result does not rule out every allergy. A healthcare provider interprets the overall pattern alongside symptom timing to help identify likely triggers. Discuss the findings with a healthcare provider before making changes.
