What this test is
The West Coast Allergy Test Panel is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against 24 specific allergens prevalent in the Pacific Northwest region. It helps identify sensitivities to local pollens, molds, pet danders, and other environmental triggers. The panel is designed for people who live in or visit this region and have allergy-like symptoms.
What it measures
- Specific IgE for each of 24 regional allergens — Reflects sensitization to individual allergens such as pollens, molds, or animal danders.
- Total IgE (sometimes included) — Provides a general measure of allergic antibody level, though it is not specific to any one allergen.
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to help evaluate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma that could be related to regional allergens. It can also help guide discussions about avoidance strategies or further testing.
Preparation
Preparation instructions vary by laboratory, so follow the specific instructions provided by the collection site. In general, no special fasting or preparation is required for allergy blood tests.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported as a numerical level for each allergen, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats can differ between laboratories, so your clinician will interpret your results in the context of your symptoms and history.
