QuickDetect™ IgE (Human) ELISA Kit

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody that has only been found in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. IgE's main function is immunity to parasites. It has an essential role in type I hypersensitivity, such as allergic asthma, most types of sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and specific types of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis. IgE also plays a pivotal role in responses to allergens, such as: anaphylactic drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in desensitization immunotherapy. BioVision’s IgE ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of IgE in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants in 90 minutes. The density of color is proportional to the amount of IgE captured from the samples.
