what is lge antibody ?
Answers
Immunoglobulin E is a type of antibody that has been found only in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. Monomers of IgE consist of two heavy chains and two light chains, with the ε chain containing 4 Ig-like constant domains.
IgE is most commonly associated with allergic disease and thought to mediate an exaggerated and/or maladaptive immune response to antigens. Once antigen specific IgE has been produced, re-exposure of the host to that particular antigen results in the typical immediate hypersensitivity reaction. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) are antibodies produced by the immune system. If you have an allergy, your immune system overreacts to an allergen by producing antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies travel to cells that release chemicals, causing an allergic reaction.
