The Southern California Allergy Panel is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitization to common allergens in the Southern California region. It is ordered when a person has persistent allergy symptoms and a clinician wants to identify specific triggers.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE to pollens — Antibodies that react to tree, grass, and weed pollens common in Southern California.
  • Specific IgE to dust mites — Antibodies that react to microscopic insects found in household dust.
  • Specific IgE to animal dander — Antibodies that react to proteins in cat, dog, or other pet skin cells and saliva.
  • Specific IgE to molds — Antibodies that react to indoor and outdoor mold spores.
  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in the blood.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician or allergist typically orders this panel for people with ongoing sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or asthma symptoms that may be allergy-related.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw, and you do not need to stop allergy medications unless your clinician tells you to.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numerical levels for each allergen, often with a reference range. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
