Allergy involves _____ antibody.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A IgE
An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. Allergic reactions occur when a person's immune system reacts to normally harmless substances in the environment.
Allergic reactions are distinctive, because of excessive activation of certain white blood cells, called as mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody, called as immunoglobulin E or IgE.The underlying mechanism involves immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE), part of the body's immune system, binding to an allergen and then to a receptor on mast cells or basophils where it triggers the release of inflammatory chemicals such as histamine.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'IgE'.
