摘要
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) isotype antibodies are associated with atopic disease, namely allergic rhinitis, asthma and atopic dermatitis, but are also involved in host immune defence mechanisms against parasitic infection. The commitment of a B cell to isotype class switch to an IgE-producing cell is a tightly regulated process, and our understanding of the regulation of IgE-antibody production is central to the prevention and treatment of atopic disease. Both those that are presently in use and potential future therapies to prevent IgE-mediated disease take advantage of our existing knowledge of the specific mechanisms that are required for IgE class switching.
