IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity Pathway

Molecular classification
Signaling Pathway, Immune Pathway
01

Overview

The IgE-mediated hypersensitivity pathway is an immune response characterized by the production of IgE antibodies against specific allergens. This pathway is central to allergic diseases and anaphylaxis. It involves sensitization (IgE production and binding to mast cells/basophils) and subsequent re-exposure, which triggers mast cell/basophil degranulation and release of inflammatory mediators, leading to allergic symptoms.

02

Mechanism of action

Multiple, depending on the drug. Examples include: Histamine receptor blockade, reduction of inflammation, IgE neutralization, inhibition of leukotriene synthesis/action, stabilization of mast cell membranes.
