Mesquite
Use
This quantitative allergen‑specific IgE test (“Mesquite”) measures serum IgE antibodies specific to the Mesquite tree (Prosopis juliflora), aiding in the detection of allergic sensitization to mesquite pollen. It may assist in evaluating allergic responses in patients with respiratory symptoms such as hay fever, asthma, or atopic conditions—particularly when identification of offending environmental allergens is clinically indicated.
