Native Protein IgE Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a class of antibody that has been found only in mammals. IgE's main function is immunity to parasites such as parasitic worms. IgE also plays an essential role in the immediate hypersensitivity states, such as asthma, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, and other well-known manifestations of atopic patients. IgE is present in normal individuals at very low concentrations, only 0.05 % of the Ig concentration. The antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against IgE.
