What it measures
- Specific IgE to Virginia oak pollen — Amount of antibody in your blood that reacts to oak pollen.
- Total IgE — Overall level of allergy-related antibody, which can help interpret the specific result.
- Other tree pollen IgE — Sometimes tested together to see if symptoms are due to other trees.
