Sample

Blood draw or sample collection at a local center

The Regional Area 5 panel is a multi-allergen IgE blood test that screens for common environmental allergens associated with an eastern Midwestern and northern Southern region. It measures 27 allergen-specific IgE markers from a single blood sample, spanning grasses, trees, and weeds plus molds, dust mite, cockroach, and animal dander. A healthcare provider may order it when allergy symptoms persist across seasons and a broad regional profile is more useful than testing one allergen at a time. Results help guide further evaluation and management discussions.

• Grass pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against grass pollens such as timothy, bluegrass, and orchard; common seasonal markers.
• Tree pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against tree pollens such as oak, maple, and birch; assessed for spring symptoms.
• Weed pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against weed pollens such as ragweed, mugwort, and plantain; linked to late-season symptoms.
• Mold spore-specific IgE Antibodies against mold spores such as Alternaria, Cladosporium, and Aspergillus; relevant indoors and outdoors.
• Indoor allergen-specific IgE Antibodies against dust mite, cockroach, cat, dog, and feather allergens; assessed for year-round symptoms.

• People with allergy symptoms that span multiple seasons
• Individuals who suspect sensitivity to pollens, molds, dust mites, or pets
• Those who want a broad regional allergy profile from one blood draw
• People whose previous allergy testing was limited or inconclusive
• Anyone whose provider recommends comprehensive environmental 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 allergen on the panel is reported with its own IgE level or class. Low or undetectable values generally suggest no sensitization, while elevated values may indicate the immune system has produced antibodies against that allergen. Sensitization does not always cause symptoms, and normal results do not rule out every allergy. A healthcare provider interprets the pattern of results alongside symptom history to help identify likely triggers. Discuss results before making changes.
