What is another word for immunoglobulin e?
Pronunciation: [ɪmjˈuːnəɡlˌɒbjʊlˌɪn ˈiː] (IPA) 
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody that plays a crucial role in allergic reactions and immune responses against parasitic infections. Some synonyms for IgE include allergic antibody, epsilon immunoglobulin, and reaginic antibody. IgE is produced by plasma cells and binds to mast cells and basophils, triggering the release of histamine and other mediators that cause the characteristic symptoms of allergies, such as hives, itching, and swelling. IgE levels can be measured in blood tests to diagnose allergies and monitor their severity. Therapeutic interventions that target IgE, such as immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies, are used to treat allergies and related conditions.
