The biology of IGE and the basis of allergic diseaseHannah J Gould
The Randall Centre, King s College London, United Kingdom

Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King s College London, UK
J Allergy Clin Immunol 119:213-8. 2007..It is generally believed that class switch recombination occurs in lymphoid tissue, but it was recently shown that class switching to IgE occurs in the nasal mucosa in allergic rhinitis...
Increases in allergen-specific IgE in BAL after segmental allergen challenge in atopic asthmaticsDuncan R Wilson
Upper Respiratory Medicine, Imperial College School of Medicine at the National Heart and Lung Institute, London, United Kingdom
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 165:22-6. 2002..These data indicate that allergen provocation results in a selective local accumulation of isotype-specific and allergen-specific IgE antibody within the bronchi, independent of alterations in circulating IgE...
