Do autoantibodies to IgE play a role in IgE-mediated events?

F Shakib et al. Immunol Cell Biol. 1995 Apr.

Abstract

Elevated blood levels of IgG anti-IgE are detectable in individuals exhibiting enhanced IgE production, namely those with allergic conditions and helminthic parasite infections. The fact that there are epitope-specific subpopulations of autoanti-IgE suggests that this autoantibody could potentially have multiple effects in immunological events involving IgE.
