Timothy Grass (g6) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This test measures the body’s immune response to Timothy grass by detecting specific IgE antibodies in the serum. Elevated levels may indicate an allergic sensitization to Timothy grass pollen, often associated with hay fever or allergic rhinitis, and assisting clinicians in confirming a diagnosis and guiding avoidance strategies or immunotherapy decisions.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Specific IgE testing indicates sensitization but does not confirm clinical allergy. Cross-reactivity with other grass pollens may occur. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history. Class levels indicate ranges of sensitization intensity but may vary across individuals and platforms.
