Quick answer

The Region 9 Allergies panel is a regional IgE blood test covering 23 allergens common across the northern plains. It evaluates sensitization to tree, grass, and weed pollens, molds, and indoor allergens that occur in this windy, open landscape. The panel is used when seasonal or year-round symptoms suggest allergy but the specific triggers are not known.

What this test measures

The northern plains combine cold winters, windy springs, and warm summers. Cottonwood and other trees release spring pollen that wind can carry long distances, grasses pollinate in early summer, and ragweed and additional weeds peak in late summer and autumn. Outdoor mold exposure is seasonal, but indoor allergens remain important during the long heating season.

This panel measures allergen-specific IgE for 23 regionally selected allergens from a single blood sample. Reported targets may include plains tree pollens, cool-season grass pollens, weed pollens including ragweed, mold spores, dust mite, and animal dander. Each allergen is reported with a quantitative antibody level and graded class.

Residents of the northern plains who notice symptoms during windy spring periods or the late-summer weed season may find this panel useful. It can also help distinguish allergy from irritation caused by windblown dust. A qualified healthcare provider interprets the results with the person's environment and symptom pattern.

  • Tree pollen IgE (cottonwood, birch, and related species as included)
  • Grass pollen IgE (timothy, bluegrass, and related grasses as included)
  • Weed pollen IgE (ragweed, pigweed, and related weeds as included)
  • Mold spore IgE (Alternaria, Cladosporium, and related molds as included)
  • Dust mite IgE when included
  • Cat and dog dander IgE when included
  • Allergen-specific IgE class for each of the 23 panel allergens

How to prepare

No fasting is needed, and the panel can be ordered at any time of year. Follow the lab's routine instructions for the blood draw.

Understanding your results

Results generally return within one to three business days. Each allergen is reported separately, which can help connect positives to the windy spring or late-summer weed season. Positive findings indicate sensitization, and a qualified healthcare provider interprets them with the person's symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is wind relevant to allergies on the plains?

Wind can lift and carry pollen and dust over long distances, increasing exposure. Testing shows whether allergic sensitization to those particles is present.

Does this panel include cottonwood?

Cottonwood is a common tree in the northern plains and is typically among the regional tree pollens included.

Can symptoms occur indoors in winter?

Yes. Dust mite, mold, and pet dander can cause symptoms in closed-up homes during the heating season.

Is a blood draw sufficient to run the whole panel?

Yes. One blood sample is used to measure IgE for all 23 allergens.

What should I do if several results are positive?

Share the report with a qualified clinician, who can relate the positives to the person's symptom history and environment.
