Allergen-Specific IgA Antibodies Block IgE-Mediated Activation of Mast Cells and Basophils
Mast cells and basophils have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. They express the high-affinity IgE receptor, FcϵRI, on their surface. Antigen-induced crosslinking of IgE antibodies bound to that receptor
