Syngeneic monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies are of value in studies of the suppression of IgE synthesis. Procedures are described here for the production of high titers of murine anti-IgE antibodies by initiating immunization in the perinatal period, before mice develop tolerance to their autologous IgE. This in turn facilitates the production of monoclonal anti-IgE antibodies. Properties of some of these mAbs are reported, including affinity, fine specificity and ability to bind to IgE on B lymphoma cells or mast cells.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
