Abstract
The experiments leading to the establishment of IgE as a distinct immunoglobulin class to which belong the antibodies implicated in atopic allergy are described. Research into the properties of the new immunoglobulin class has elucidated the mechanisms involved in histamine release and clarified the structure of the gamma E globulin molecule. The author also speculates on the role IgE may play against infection.Keywords
