birch pollen skin prick solution

Birch pollen skin prick solution is a diagnostic allergen extract developed by Zhejiang Wolwo Bio-Pharmaceutical for the identification of IgE-mediated sensitization to birch pollen. It is primarily used in the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. The solution contains standardized allergenic proteins derived from birch pollen (typically *Betula verrucosa*). During a skin prick test, the solution is introduced into the epidermis, where it interacts with allergen-specific IgE antibodies bound to the surface of mast cells. In sensitized individuals, this interaction triggers mast cell degranulation and the release of inflammatory mediators like histamine, resulting in a visible wheal-and-flare reaction within 15-20 minutes. This reaction serves as a clinical indicator of Type I hypersensitivity to birch allergens.
