Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is believed that IgE was originally related to immunity reactions to parasites. By binding to mast cells, IgE is believed to be involved in allergies such as pollinosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a critical role in the allergic inflammatory process in diseases such as allergic rhinitis. Cross-linking IgE bound to its receptor on cells by multivalent allergens initiates a chain of events resulting in allergic immune responses.
Detailed explanation-3: -IgE is the antibody responsible for allergic reactions. IgE binds to an allergen, triggering a release of histamine, which causes allergy symptoms. IgE also helps to fight parasitic infections.
