Description
A molecular model of immunoglobulin E (IgE), an antibody isotype found only in mammals, which plays a role in allergic diseases such as asthma, food allergies, dermatitis, sinusitis, as well as anaphylactic reactions to drugs, bee stings, and other allergens. IgE antibodies can recognize specific allergens and will trigger a hyperactive immune response which results in an inflammatory reaction. However, IgE is also responsible for immune defense against parasites.
