Sample

Blood draw or sample collection at a local center

The Regional Area 9 panel is a multi-allergen IgE blood test that screens for common environmental allergens associated with an eastern Midwestern region. It measures 23 allergen-specific IgE markers from one blood sample, covering tree, grass, and weed pollens as well as molds, dust mite, and animal dander. A healthcare provider may order it when allergy symptoms are seasonal or persistent and a broad regional profile is more useful than testing a single allergen. Results support further evaluation and management discussions.

• Tree pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against tree pollens such as oak, birch, and elm; assessed for spring sensitization.
• Grass pollen-specific IgE Antibodies against grass pollens such as timothy, bluegrass, and brome; common seasonal markers.
• 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 indoors and outdoors.
• Indoor allergen-specific IgE Antibodies against dust mite, cat, dog, and cockroach allergens; assessed for year-round symptoms.

• People with spring, summer, or fall allergy symptoms
• Individuals who suspect sensitivity to tree, grass, weed, or mold 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

This panel reports a separate IgE level for every allergen it measures, including seasonal pollens, mold spores, and common indoor allergens. Undetectable values suggest the immune system has not responded to that trigger, while elevated values show antibodies are present. Sensitization does not always lead to symptoms, and one normal result does not rule out other allergies, so the whole profile is considered. A clinician relates the pattern to your symptom history to suggest likely triggers. A healthcare provider should review the findings before any changes.
