Additional info: 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.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody 4A11 reacts with Fab fragment of human IgG. This antibody detects Fab fragments regardless light chain type.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 5 μg/ml.
