| Immunoglobulin E | Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody subclass (known as "isotypes"), found only in mammals. Although IgE is typically the least abundant isotype - blood serum IgE levels in a normal ("non-atopic") individual are ~150ng/ml, compared to 10mg/ml for the IgGs, the isotypes responsible for most of the classical adaptive immune response, it is capable of triggering the most powerful immune reactions. Most of our knowledge of IgE has come from research into the mechanism of a form of allergy known as type 1 hypersensitivity (1). (references) | ||
