Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is one of five classes of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM). IgE was the last immunoglobulin to be discovered. However, since it’s discovery, vast amounts of research have been aimed at characterising its physiological and clinical significance’s. Whilst IgEs chemical structure is unique compared to the rest of the immunoglobulin family (lacks a ‘hinge’ region in the centre of the molecule and gets replaced by the C-epsilon2 domain), it has an array of physiological functions. For immunoglobulin E to fulfil its function, the Fc portion of the antibody must bind to a given cellular receptor located on certain cell types, such as eosinophil or mast cells. Whilst many an array of cellular receptors have been identified, the main ones are Fc-epsilon-RI, Fc-epsilon-II and CD23.
