Quick answer
The cottonwood tree allergy test measures immunoglobulin E antibodies against cottonwood pollen. Cottonwood, also known as poplar, releases pollen in spring, and the fluffy seeds it produces are often mistaken for the allergen itself. The test is intended for people with seasonal spring symptoms who want to identify their triggers. A healthcare provider interprets the result with your symptom timing.
What this test measures
This test detects allergen-specific immunoglobulin E against cottonwood, a tree in the poplar family. The tree releases lightweight pollen in spring that can travel long distances and trigger allergic rhinitis symptoms. People often blame the visible white cotton-like seeds, but the pollen is the usual allergen. The immunoassay reports a quantitative antibody level and an IgE class for cottonwood pollen.
A blood sample is collected by venipuncture and analyzed with an immunoassay. Results are reported in kilounits per liter, and total IgE or eosinophil counts may be included for context. Tree pollens share proteins across related species, so a panel testing several trees can show whether reactivity is specific to cottonwood or part of a broader spring tree pollen allergy.
People order this test when spring symptoms suggest a tree pollen allergy but the specific tree is unknown. Identifying the trigger supports avoidance planning and informs a discussion with a clinician about management options. The test shows sensitization rather than symptom severity, so it should be interpreted with your seasonal pattern and other findings.
