Allergen, Individual - Grass Pollen Johnson Grass

Johnson Grass, scientifically known as Sorghum halepense, is a perennial grass that is found in various regions across the globe. Although it is primarily known as an invasive weed, Johnson Grass is also used for forage and to prevent erosion. However, when Johnson Grass flowers, it releases pollen into the air, which can be an allergen for certain individuals. This test is designed to identify whether a person has an allergy to Johnson Grass pollen by detecting specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that react to this pollen.
