Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Mnemonic Preview for USMLE

Immunoglobulin E, or IgE for short, is a type of antibody responsible for mediating immune responses against parasitic worms. IgE can directly bind the parasite, or activate other immune cells to produce a response. Importantly, cross-linking of IgE happens when multiple molecules of IgE bind the same antigen, and this clumping of IgE causes activation of basophils and mast cells. This eventually results in histamine release, which generates a local inflammatory response. While IgE normally targets parasitic antigens, it may incorrectly target harmless allergens, which explains its key role in allergic reactions.
