What this test is

This is a blood test that detects specific IgE antibodies produced by your immune system in response to hackberry tree pollen. It is used to assess whether your symptoms may be related to an allergy to this tree.

What it measures

  • Hackberry tree pollen-specific IgE — reflects the level of allergic antibodies to hackberry pollen

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm using a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

How results are reported
