The Grey Alder Allergy Screen is a blood test that measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to grey alder tree pollen. It is used to help identify an allergic sensitization to this common tree species.

About Grey Alder Allergy Test | Tree Pollen in Pharr

Grey alder (Alnus incana) is a deciduous tree found in temperate regions, often in moist or riparian habitats. Its pollen is released in early spring and can contribute to seasonal allergic rhinitis in sensitized individuals.

The test detects IgE antibodies in a blood sample. IgE is an antibody class associated with allergic responses; when bound to allergens such as grey alder pollen, it can trigger the release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells.

A positive result indicates that the immune system has produced IgE specific to grey alder pollen, suggesting sensitization. Sensitization does not always equate to clinical allergy; symptoms must be interpreted alongside the test result by a healthcare provider.

Cross-reactivity between alder pollen and other tree pollens, particularly birch and hazel, is possible due to shared protein structures. This means a positive grey alder result may also reflect reactivity to related trees.
