Overview
IgE is the least abundant isotype but has the capability of triggering powerful immune responses by binding to Fc receptors on the surface of cells such as mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, macrophages and platelets.
IgE is well known for its involvement in eliciting an allergic or asthmatic response.Ovalbumin (OVA) is widely used for inducing an allergic response in mouse models of allergic asthma. Through T and B cell signalling, IgE production is stimulated and released into the bloodstream where it attaches to receptors on cells such as mast cells and basophils. These cells are then activated upon cross-linking of the IgE with the antigen initiating the allergic cascade.

How It Works
ELISA or Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay is a colorimetric based immunoassay utilizing a capture antibodyand a detection antibody to provide a unique and powerful assay system. Antibody/antigen reactionstake place on the suface of microplate wells that have been previously coated with a monoclonal antibodyto mouse IgE heavy chain. Biotinylated ovalbumin and streptavidin-peroxidase, in the presence of substrate quantifies theanalyte bound.
