Performing Lab
Japanese Cedar (t17) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test quantifies an individual’s IgE response to Japanese cedar pollen (Cryptomeria japonica). It aids in identifying sensitization to this allergen, which may manifest as seasonal allergic symptoms; however, a positive result indicates sensitization—not necessarily clinical allergy—and should be interpreted within the overall clinical context by a qualified provider.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive result only indicates sensitization; many sensitized individuals remain asymptomatic. Diagnosis of clinical allergy should involve correlation with symptoms and clinical evaluation.
