IgE, also known as immunoglobulin E serum is a test to measure the level if IgE in the blood. IgE is a class of antibodies made by the immune system.
A serum IgE test is to measure the level certain antibodies to screen for allergies. A high level count can indicate an allergy or a parasitic infection.
Tests that measure allergen-specific IgE antibodies.The commonly used RAST test (radio allergo sorbent test) employed radio-labeled Anti-IgE antibodies. Updated methods now incorporate the use of enyzme-labeled antibodies in ELISA assays.
Not yet. The best method is to avoid as many allergens (that may affect you) as possible.
There are five immunoglobulin classes (isotypes) of antibody molecules found in serum: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. IgA (immunoglobulin A) IgD (immunoglobulin D) IgE (immunoglobulin E) IgG (immunoglobulin G) IgM (immunoglobulin M)
IgE is a monomeric antibody that accounts for only 0.002 % of the total serum antibodies. Almost all IgE is bound to tissue cells, especially mast cells and eosinophils in various parts of the body. Contact of IgE with antigen leads to release of a set of signal molecules from the mast cells, which effectively recruits various agents of the immune response to fight the infection. IgE and MALT serve to detect penetrating pathogens and amplify the immune response in an area leading to the repulsion of the invader. Antigen reactions with IgE are also responsible for atopic allergic reactions (e.g., hives, asthma, hay fever etc.)
The tubes used for an IgE immunoeassy blood test are typically either a plain red-top tube or a serum separator tube (SST), which is also red-topped. The specific color may vary depending on the laboratory protocol, so it's always best to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or the lab.

Ihave elevated IgE antibody please treatment

An allergist may use skin prick tests, blood tests for specific IgE antibodies, or oral food challenges to determine an allergy. Skin prick tests involve placing small amounts of allergens on the skin and monitoring for a reaction, while blood tests measure IgE levels in response to specific allergens. Oral food challenges involve gradually introducing a suspected allergen to determine if a reaction occurs.
