The main normal function of IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is believed to be in the protection against parasitic infestation. However, IgE is also associated with allergy and allergen-specific IgE antibodies may trigger allergic reactions in the presence of the proper allergen. IgE is normally found in low amounts in serum/plasma but is significantly increased in allergic individuals and the detection of allergen-specific IgE serves as the basis for many in vitro assays for specific diagnosis of allergy.
