What this test is

This is a specific IgE antibody blood test that looks for an immune response to privet tree pollen. It is one of several tree pollen tests a clinician may use when evaluating seasonal allergy symptoms. The test does not diagnose an allergy on its own; it is interpreted alongside your history and a physical exam.

What it measures

  • Privet-specific IgE antibody level — reflects the amount of allergic antibody your immune system has produced against privet pollen
  • Total IgE (if included) — reflects overall allergic antibody levels, which can help provide context for the specific result
  • Other tree pollen-specific IgE (if included) — shows whether your immune system also reacts to related or co-seasonal tree pollens

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample from a vein in your arm, usually in a few minutes. 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 you report allergy symptoms that seem to worsen during the season when privet trees release pollen. It can also be used to help distinguish tree pollen allergy from other causes of similar symptoms.

Preparation

In general, no special preparation is needed for a blood allergy test, but you should follow the collection lab's instructions. Tell the lab about any medications or health conditions before your sample is collected.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric level or class for privet-specific IgE, along with the laboratory's reference range. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted using the range provided by the lab that performed the test.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test
  • How and when you will receive your results
  • Whether the lab uses a specific reference range for this test
