White Pine (t16) IgE details
What White Pine (t16) IgE shows
White pine is a tall evergreen conifer common in eastern North America, and it releases large amounts of yellow pollen in spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to white pine pollen to check for allergic sensitization. It can help explain spring symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes or a runny nose. Pine pollen is very visible but is generally considered only weakly allergenic, so symptoms in spring are often caused by other trees pollinating at the same time. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is interpreted alongside other tree pollen results and your symptoms.
