Definition class of antibody [ IATE:1073776 ] that has been found only in mammals and which mainly provides immunity to parasites and plays an essential role in sensitisation [ IATE:870609 ] to an allergen [ IATE:1353570 ] Reference COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia. Immunoglobulin E http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_E [27.3.2012]
Comment Different allergens stimulate the production of corresponding allergen-specific IgE antibodies. Once formed and released into the circulation, IgE binds, through its Fc portion, to high affinity receptors on mast cells, leaving its allergen specific receptor site available for future interaction with allergen. Other cells known to express high-affinity receptors for IgE include basophils, Langerhans cells and activated monocytes. Production of allergen specific IgE-antibodies completes the immune response known as sensitisation [ IATE:870609 ].Ref.: World Allergy Association. http://www.worldallergy.org/professional/allergic_diseases_center/ige/ [27.3.2012]
