Cupressus sempervirens Ab.IgE
Detects immune antibodies (IgE) that react specifically to Italian cypress pollen.
Why This Biomarker Matters
A positive result identifies Italian cypress as an environmental allergy trigger, helping manage symptoms in regions where this tree is common.
Overview
This test detects IgE antibodies against Italian cypress pollen, a significant allergen in Mediterranean climates and warm regions. People allergic to this tree pollen experience hay fever symptoms—sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, and itchy eyes—often during winter and early spring when the tree pollinates. This test helps identify cypress pollen as an allergy trigger, particularly valuable for individuals in affected geographic areas.
