What this test is
The Washington & Oregon 22 Allergies Test Panel is a blood test that measures specific IgE antibodies to a set of regionally common allergens. It is designed to reflect exposures typical of the inland Pacific Northwest, including certain pollens, molds, and other environmental triggers. The panel helps identify which substances may be contributing to allergy symptoms.
What it measures
- Grass pollens — reflects sensitization to common regional grasses
- Tree pollens — reflects sensitization to trees prevalent in the area
- Weed pollens — reflects sensitization to weeds such as sagebrush or ragweed
- Molds — reflects sensitization to indoor and outdoor molds
- Dust mites — reflects sensitization to common household dust mites
- Animal danders — reflects sensitization to cat, dog, or other animal proteins
- Insect venoms or other allergens — reflects sensitization to specific insects or other regional triggers
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 when a person has ongoing allergy symptoms and the history suggests exposure to allergens common in this region. It can help guide discussions about avoidance measures and further evaluation.
Preparation
Preparation is generally minimal, but you should follow the instructions provided by the collection lab. This may include avoiding certain medications or fasting, depending on the lab's protocol.
How results are reported
Results are reported as a numeric level for each allergen, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own ranges and your clinical history.
