Assess your IgG, IgG4, and IgA response to 48 airborne allergens
Airborne sensitivities to tree, grass, mould, and dust pollens and spores can drive symptoms ranging from mild to severe. The 48 Inhalant Panel assesses your IgG, IgG4, and IgA antibody responses to 48 common inhalant allergens, giving me the information I need to help you manage those symptoms effectively.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and an IgE allergy panel? This panel measures IgG, IgG4, and IgA, which relate to sensitivity and delayed immune responses. An IgE panel measures true, immediate allergic reactions. The two use different antibody pathways and are useful for different symptom patterns.
Which sample method should I choose? Dried blood spot is the simpler, at-home finger-prick option. Serum requires a standard blood draw. Both give the same three antibody results, so it comes down to what's more convenient for you.
Does medication affect my results? Let us know what you're currently taking before your sample is collected, so we can factor it in when your results are reviewed.
