Anti-Hu IgE FITC

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a 180 kDa soluble protein serving as an antigen-specific unit of mast cell effector mechanisms. IgE has the lowest serum concentration of all immunoglobulins (approximately 0.5 mg/l) in healthy individuals, but upon allergen challenge its concentration in blood increases dramatically. Although biological survival of free IgE is very short (T1/2 = 2 days), it is stabilized after binding to its high affinity receptor. Unlike IgM- IgG- and IgA-committed B cells, IgE-switched B cells do not undergo clonal expansion.

Store at 2-8°C. Protect from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Specificity

The mouse monoclonal antibody 4H10 reacts with human IgE; it recognizes an epitope different from the ones recognized by BE5 and 4G7.325 antibodies to IgE. The epitope is located within the amino acids 267-279 (TWLEDGQVMDVDL) .
