What this test is
This test measures specific immunoglobulin E antibodies in the blood that are directed against White Pine pollen proteins. It is one of many tree pollen allergy tests used to help evaluate seasonal or year-round allergy symptoms.
What it measures
- White Pine specific IgE — reflects the level of antibody directed against White Pine pollen
- Total IgE (if included) — reflects overall allergic antibody level, though it is not specific to White Pine
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 then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this test when someone reports allergy symptoms that could be related to tree pollen, especially if symptoms occur during the tree pollination season. It can help support a broader evaluation when used alongside a person's history and other findings.
Preparation

How results are reported
Results are typically reported as a numerical value or a class score that reflects the level of specific IgE antibodies detected.
