What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in your blood that react to cultivated oat grass and its pollen. IgE is an antibody the immune system can make after it becomes sensitized to a substance like grass pollen. The result is used along with your history and other findings, not by itself, to assess allergy.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to cultivated oat grass pollen — Reflects the amount of allergic antibody in your blood that binds to this grass pollen
  • Total IgE (if included) — Reflects the overall level of IgE antibody in the blood, which can be influenced by many factors
  • Qualitative result category — Places the numeric level into a class such as negative, low, moderate, or high based on the lab's scale

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm, using a standard blood draw. The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis, and you can typically return to your normal activities right away.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, or wheezing happen at times that suggest grass pollen exposure. It is often used with other allergy tests and a symptom history to help clarify which allergens may be contributing.

Preparation

No special preparation is usually needed for a blood allergy test, but follow the instructions provided by the collection site. Tell the lab about any medications you take, because some medicines may affect test interpretation.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric level for the specific IgE to cultivated oat grass and its pollen, often with a qualitative category such as negative, low, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so the range printed on your report is the one that applies to that test.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test
  • How and when results will be delivered to you
  • Whether a repeat or additional allergy test is needed
