Application

IgE secreted from transfected murin myeloma cells was detected by ELISA using the alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-human IgE (epsilon specific) antibody.

Anti-Human IgE (epsilon-chain specific)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is suitable for use in immunoblotting and ELISA (at 1:500 dilutions using 100μ/well).

Anti-Human IgE (ε-chain specific)−Alkaline Phosphatase antibody produced in goat has been used in dot blot.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgE bound to B cell receptor mediates antigen uptake and regulates differentiation and proliferation of B cells.

General description

Affinity isolated antibody is obtained from anti-human IgE antiserum by immunospecific purification which removes essentially all goat serum proteins, including immunoglobulins, which do not specifically bind to the ε-chain of human IgE. Anti-Human IgE is conjugated to alkaline phosphatase by protein cross linking with 0.2% glutaraldehyde. IgE is present in low levels compared to other immunoglobulin isotypes. It exists in two forms, one being a secreted by plasma cell and the other form is associated with the B cell receptor.

IgEs are glycoprotein antibodies that regulate immunological responses to allergies and infections. These immunoglobulins have been implicated in mediating Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Elevated IgE levels have been associated with hyper IgE syndrome and allergic asthma . Anti-Human IgE (epsilon-chain specific)-Alkaline Phosphatase antibody is specific for human IgE when tested against human IgA, IgG, IgM, Bence Jones κ and λ myeloma proteins.
