The humoral response to parasitic worms involves the production of [[Immunoglobulin E|IgE]]. It is stimulated by [[Mast Cells|mast cells]] producing IL-4 ([[Innate Immune System|innate response]]). It also includes isotype switching of [[Lymphocytes#B Cells|B cells]] to produce [[Immunoglobulin E|IgE]].
