Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is responsible for triggering allergic reactions by binding to allergens and promoting the release of histamines and other chemicals from mast cells and basophils. This leads to the characteristic symptoms of allergies such as itching, swelling, and inflammation. IgM and IgG are involved in fighting bacterial and viral infections, while IgA is primarily found in secretions such as saliva and breast milk.
