Background: Autoantibodies (AAbs) against immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies (Abs) and their high-affinity receptor alpha subunits (FcεRIα) are key factors in the elicitation of type IIb autoimmune chronic spontaneous urticaria (type IIb aiCSU).

Genome-Wide Scan on Total Serum IgE Levels Identifies FCER1A as Novel Susceptibility Locus [PDF]
High levels of serum IgE are considered markers of parasite and helminth exposure. In addition, they are associated with allergic disorders, play a key role in anti-tumoral defence, and are crucial mediators of autoimmune diseases.

The structure of human CD23 and its interactions with IgE and CD21 [PDF]
The low-affinity immunoglobulin E ( IgE) receptor, CD23 ( Fc epsilon RII), binds both IgE and CD21 and, through these interactions, regulates the synthesis of IgE, the antibody isotype that mediates the allergic response.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: overcoming diagnostic obstacles and exploring pharmacotherapeutic approaches [PDF]
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an uncommon form of necrotizing vasculitis that affects the respiratory system and other organs, characterized by asthma, eosinophilia, and multiple organ involvement that complicates the diagnosis ...

Environmental determinants of total IgE among school children living in the rural Tropics: importance of geohelminth infections and effect of anthelmintic treatment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The environmental factors that determine the elevated levels of polyclonal IgE observed in populations living in the Tropics are poorly understood but may include geohelminth infections.

Effects of geohelminth infection and age on the associations between allergen-specific IgE, skin test reactivity and wheeze: a case-control study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Most childhood asthma in poor populations in Latin America is not associated with aeroallergen sensitization, an observation that could be explained by the attenuation of atopy by chronic helminth infections or effects of age.

Differential effects of the Toll-like receptor 2 agonists, PGN and Pam3CSK4 on anti-IgE induced human mast cell activation. [PDF]
Mast cells are pivotal in the pathogenesis of allergy and inflammation. In addition to the classical IgE-dependent mechanism involving crosslinking of the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), mast cells are also activated by Toll-like receptors (TLRs)

Glycan-specific IgG anti-IgE autoantibodies are protective against allergic anaphylaxis in a murine model. [PDF]
BACKGROUND IgE causes anaphylaxis in type-1 hypersensitivity diseases by activating degranulation of effector cells such as mast cells and basophils.
