There doesn't seem to be a medication per say, but there are IgE therapies. Humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies have been developed. To date, only one study by Leung et al has examined the role of anti-IgE in food allergy. In their double-blind, placebo-controlled study on patients with peanut allergy, patients were randomly assigned to receive monthly subcutaneous injections of placebo or one of three doses of the anti-IgE TNX-901 (Tanox Biosystems, Houston, Texas, USA), 150, 300 and 450 mg. TNX-901 at a dose of 450 mg increased the threshold for sensitivity to peanut to a level that confers protection against most unintended peanut ingestions in 76% of patients. The drug was well tolerated. Further investigation using this antibody was discontinued after an agreement among pharmaceutical companies that were involved in the development of anti-IgE therapies.

Anti-IgE therapy may eventually prove to be useful as an adjunct to allergen avoidance, and may prove to be protective against other food Allergies in the same individuals. It may, however, have to be administered indefinitely.

How we control your normal ige level?

Normal IgE (Immunoglobulin E) levels can be managed through a combination of allergen avoidance, medication, and immunotherapy. Avoiding known allergens can help prevent elevated IgE responses. Medications such as antihistamines and corticosteroids can alleviate allergic symptoms. In some cases, allergen immunotherapy may be recommended to gradually desensitize the immune system and reduce IgE levels over time.


Is there a dietary or medicinal way to lower serum IgE levels?

Not yet. The best method is to avoid as many allergens (that may affect you) as possible.


What does low immunoglobulin E indicate?

Low immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels typically indicate a reduced sensitivity to allergens and a lower likelihood of allergic reactions or asthma. It may also suggest a deficiency in the body’s immune response, which can occur in certain immunodeficiency disorders. However, low IgE levels are generally not as clinically significant as elevated levels, which are more commonly associated with allergic conditions.

What hppen with very high IGE level?

Very high levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) are often associated with allergic reactions and conditions such as asthma, eczema, and hay fever. Elevated IgE can indicate a heightened sensitivity to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. In some cases, extremely high IgE levels may also be linked to parasitic infections or certain immunological disorders. Monitoring and managing these levels can be crucial for individuals experiencing severe allergic responses.


How is a allergen-specific IgE measurement conducted?

The allergen is bound to a solid support.The patient's serum.is incubated with the solid phase. If allergen specific IgE antibodies are present, they will bind to the solid phase.The excess is washed away and the levels of IgE are determined.


What does an elevated IGE immunoglobulin indicate?

Elevated IgE (immunoglobulin E) levels typically indicate an allergic response or hypersensitivity reaction. High IgE levels are often associated with conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and certain parasitic infections. In some cases, elevated IgE can also suggest an underlying immunological condition. However, a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the specific cause and implications.


Why is igE so scare in circulation?

IgE is scarce in circulation because it is rapidly taken up by mast cells and basophils, where it binds to their high-affinity Fc receptors. This binding triggers a cascade of events that leads to allergic reactions. Therefore, IgE levels in the blood are typically low as it is quickly utilized by immune cells.


What is Ige Serum?
