larix occidentalis pollen

Larix occidentalis pollen is an allergenic extract derived from the pollen of the Western Larch tree, a deciduous conifer native to the Pacific Northwest. It is primarily utilized as a diagnostic tool in in-vivo allergy testing, such as skin prick tests or intradermal tests, to identify hypersensitivity in patients suspected of having respiratory allergies to this specific tree species. As an allergen product, it works by eliciting a localized IgE-mediated allergic response in sensitized individuals, resulting in a visible wheal-and-flare reaction that confirms clinical sensitivity. The product is classified as a biological extract and is regulated as an allergenic product rather than a therapeutic drug.
