Question

Which type of antibody is produced during an allergic immune response?

Options

• IgA

• IgE

• IgG

• IgM

Answer 1

IgE antibodies are specifically produced during allergic reactions. These immunoglobulins bind to mast cells and basophils, making them highly sensitive to allergen exposure. When allergens bind to IgE on these cells, it triggers the release of histamine and other chemical mediators, initiating the allergic cascade.
