The 4 tests in this panel
What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.
Honey Bee Venom IgE
Measures IgE antibodies to honey bee venom, which helps clinicians work out whether a sting reaction may be linked to bee venom.
- Adults
- 0–0.09 kU/L
Yellow Jacket Venom (Vespula) IgE
Measures IgE antibodies to yellow jacket (Vespula) venom, which helps clinicians work out whether a sting reaction may be linked to yellow jackets.
- Adults
- 0–0.09 kU/L
Paper Wasp Venom (Polistes) IgE
Measures IgE antibodies to paper wasp venom in your blood. A detectable result means you are sensitized, which is not the same as a sting allergy.
- Adults
- 0–0.09 kU/L
Tryptase
Measures tryptase, a protein mast cells release in allergic reactions. It is checked after a possible severe reaction and to find your usual baseline level.
- Adults
- up to 11.4 µg/L
