Question

Which of the following antigen has a role in anaphylactic shock?

• A. Ig A
• B. Ig E
• C. Ig M
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ig E

Anaphylaxis is a type of severe allergic reaction which can result in the death of the person. The excessive release of histamine by the mast cells and basophils may result in anaphylactic shock. The IgE antibodies are released by the plasma cells during the allergic reaction. The antibodies bind to the allergen and stimulate the other immune cells to destroy the pathogen and reduce the effect of allergy.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
