Allergen-Specific Antibodies Regulate Secondary Allergen-Specific Immune Responses
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated allergy is the most common immunologically-mediated hypersensensitivity disease. It is based on the production of IgE antibodies and T cell responses against per se innocuous antigens (i.e., allergens) and subsequent ...

Impact of oligomerization on the allergenicity of allergens
Clinical and Molecular Allergy, 2022 AbstractType I hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) is an unsuitable or overreactive immune response to an allergen due to cross-link immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies bound to its high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRIs) on effector cells. It is needless to say that at least two epitopes on allergens are required to the successful and effective cross ...

The role of allergen‐specific IgE, IgG and IgA in allergic disease
Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2021 Immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated allergy is the most common hypersensitivity disease affecting more than 30% of the population. Exposure to even minute quantities of allergens can lead to the production of IgE antibodies in atopic individuals.
