Onkohan minulla syöpä?

Re: Syöpä ja korkea Ig-E

Hei,

Important Issues for Allergen-Specific IgE Testing
Immunoglobulin E is a distinct class of serum antibody which mediates Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions, also known as atopic allergy. In sensitized individuals suffering from this immediate (atopic or anaphylactic) type of allergy, IgE molecules act as points of contact between the allergen and mast cells or basophilic leukocytes that release histamine and other agents upon exposure. This initiates the events recognized as allergic reactions, the most common clinical manifestations being sinusitis, asthma, dermatitis, hives and, in rare cases, anaphylactic shock. Assessing the level of allergen-specific IgE in a patient’s serum in conjunction with a clinical evaluation based on patient history and other testing can help a physician confirm a diagnosis of atopic allergy and assist in the treatment of the patient.

IgE's main function is immunity to parasites such as parasitic worms like Schistosoma mansoni, Trichinella spiralis, and Fasciola hepatica. IgE may also be important during immune defense against certain protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum.

IgE also plays an essential role in type I hypersensitivity, which manifests various allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, most types of sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and some types of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis. IgE also plays a pivotal role in allergic conditions, such as anaphylactic reactions to certain drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in specific desensitization immunotherapy

IGE'S ROLE IN ALLERGIC ASTHMA Print Page
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody that is present in minute amounts in the body but plays a major role in allergic diseases. IgE binds to allergens and triggers the release of substances from mast cells that can cause inflammation. When IgE binds to mast cells, a cascade of allergic reaction can begin.

Allergen exposure: Repeated exposure to a particular allergen can be the first step in developing a reaction to it. Some allergens trigger strong allergic reactions, while others trigger milder reactions.
T cell action: Allergens induce T cells to activate B cells, which develop into plasma cells that produce and release more antibodies.
