==Function==

IgE triggers acute inflammation by binding to the FCεRI receptors on mast cells in the lamina propria and [[Basophils|basophils]], causing degranulation. It is involved in [[Type I Hypersensitivity|type I hypersensitivity reactions]]. Cross-linking of IgE molecules by antigens, triggers [[Mast Cells|mast cell]] degranulation and an inflammatory response. IgE has considerable involvement in producing [[Immunity to Parasites|immunity to parasitic worms]], particularly [[:Category:Nematodes|nematode]] parasites. It may mediate their expulsion or killing via mast cell activity, cytotoxic [[Eosinophils|eosinophils]], [[Macrophages|macrophages]], and so on.
