Corn, Grass (g202) IgE details
What Corn, Grass (g202) IgE shows
Corn, or maize, is a cultivated grass, and its tassels release pollen in summer. This test measures IgE antibodies to corn pollen to check for allergic sensitization to it, which is distinct from a corn food allergy involving proteins in the kernel. A positive result can help explain hay fever or asthma symptoms during the growing season, particularly for people who live or work near cornfields. Corn pollen is heavy and travels shorter distances than many grasses, and it shares proteins with other grass pollens. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
