IgE Inhalant Allergies in the Environment
 The IgE antibody is the cause of "classic" or atopic allergic reactions related to hay fever and anaphylaxis, and is well known for causing immediate allergic reactions. The Allergix IgE Inhalant Antibodies Profile measures the IgE levels in serum that react to 28 different regional inhalant antigens. This profile is especially useful during high allergy seasons, such as spring time pollen or when an allergy from the environment is suspected.
Antigens reported vary by region. Below is a sample list:
- Alternaria Alternata/tenuis
- Ash Tree, White
- Beech Tree
- Cat Antigen (Hair/Dander)
- Cocklebur
- Cottonwood Tree, Eastern
- D. Farinae (Dust Mite)
- Dog Epithelium (Hair/Epith)
- Elm Tree, American
- Goldenrod
- Grass, Bahia
- Grass, Bermuda
- Grass, Johnson
- Grass, June (Kentucky Blue)
- Hickory Tree, White
- House Dust (Greer)
- Lamb Quarters
- Maple Tree, Red
- Mugwort, Common
- Oak Tree, White
- Pigweed, Rough
- Plantain, English
- Ragweed, Common/Short
- Ragweed, False
- Sorrel, Sheep
- Sycamore Tree, Eastern
- Walnut Tree, Black
- Willow Tree, Black
