IgE, IgE Receptors and Anti-IgE Biologics: Protein Structures and Mechanisms of Action
The evolution of IgE in mammals added an extra layer of immune protection at body surfaces to provide a rapid and local response against antigens from the environment. The IgE immune response employs potent expulsive and inflammatory forces against local antigen provocation, at the risk of damaging host tissues and causing allergic disease.

Mimotope mapping as a complementary strategy to define allergen IgE-epitopes: peach Pru p 3 allergen as a model. [PDF]
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are the major allergens of Rosaceae fruits in the Mediterranean area. Pru p 3, the LTP and major allergen of peach, is a suitable model for studying food allergy and amino acid sequences related with its IgE-binding ...

Approaches to allergy detection using aptasensors [PDF]
1. Immunoglobulins and IgE Antibodies are glycoprotein molecules which are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen (1). They belong to a class of spherical proteins called globulins and are hence known as immunoglobulins (Igs).

Basal sliding of glaciers and ice sheets remains a source of uncertainty in simulating the long‐term evolution of ice masses. In particular, the response of ice flow to changes in driving stress depends strongly on the value of the exponent m in ...

Soluble IgE receptors—Elements of the IgE network [PDF]
Soluble isoforms of three human IgE Fc receptors, namely FcεRI, FcεRII, and galectin-3, can be found in serum. These soluble IgE receptors are a diverse family of proteins unified by the characteristic of interacting with IgE in the extracellular matrix.

Allergic rhinitis in Samara: clinical and allergological aspects
The aim of the study was to study the dynamics of clinical and allergic characteristics of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Samara over the past 5 years. Clinical and allergological examination was performed in 1526 patients from 2012 to 2018. For

IgE-associated enhancement of allergen presentation and T cell activation in atopic dermatitis
Previous research has suggested that IgE-facilitated allergen presentation may play a key role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. This is the process by which allergen-specific IgE bound to Fcepsilon receptors on antigen presenting cells is able ...

Temporal Changes in Total Serum Immunoglobulin E Levels in East German Children and the Effect of Potential Predictors [PDF]
Background: Elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are a prominent feature of allergic and parasitic diseases. An epidemiologic study was conducted in East German children to describe trends in the development of total serum IgE levels and ...

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.
