| If IgE antibodies expressed on the basophils are specific to the allergen, activation occurs and inflammatory mediators are released. |
| In addition, it is possible to use an animal polyclonal antiserum for capture and a human IgE antibody containing serum for detection. |
| Lavages were then performed at 10 minutes, 24 hours, and at 4 and 7 days afterward and analyzed for levels of IgE and histamine. |
| Skin-prick tests and specific IgE tests to the allergen are usually negative. |
| Skin-prick tests and specific IgE tests prove IgE sensitisation rather than clinical reactivity. |
| The drug blocks the binding of IgE to the IgE receptor on the surface of mast cells and basophils. |
