What it measures
- White pine specific IgE — The main marker; it shows whether your immune system makes antibodies to white pine pollen.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, sometimes included for context.
- Other tree pollen IgE — May be tested together to see if you react to similar trees like oak or birch.
