Do autoantibodies to IgE play a role in IgE-mediated events?

Immunology and Cell Biology
F ShakibD I Pritchard

Abstract

Elevated blood levels of IgG anti-IgE are detectable in individuals exhibiting enhanced IgE production, namely those with allergic conditions and helminthic parasite infections. The fact that there are epitope-specific subpopulations of autoanti-IgE suggests that this autoantibody could potentially have multiple effects in immunological events involving IgE.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
