Background
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody (or immunoglobulin "isotype") that has been found only in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. Monomers of IgE consist of two heavy chains (ε chain) and two light chains, with the ε chain containing four Ig-like constant domains (Cε1–Cε4). IgE is thought to be an important part of the immune response against infection by certain parasitic worms, including Schistosoma mansoni, Trichinella spiralis, and Fasciola hepatica. IgE is also utilized during immune defense against certain protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum. IgE may have evolved as a defense to protect against venoms. IgE also has an essential role in type I hypersensitivity, which manifests in various allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, most types of sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and specific types of chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis. IgE also plays a pivotal role in responses to allergens, such as: anaphylactic reactions to drugs, bee stings, and antigen preparations used in desensitization immunotherapy.

Spike Recovery
The recovery of Rat IgE was evaluated in activated samples spiked with concentrations spanning the entire assay range.
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay)
Three samples of known concentration were tested fifteen times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays)
Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed with at least three lots of components.
Determination of Minimum Detectable Dose (MDD)
The MDD was determined using three independent lots of assay components. For each lot, 19 replicate measurements of the diluent (zero calibrator) were performed. The mean (AVERAGE) and standard deviation (STDEV) of the 19 replicates were calculated. The MDD for each lot was then calculated according to the following formula:
MDD = 2 × STDEV + AVERAGE
HOOK Effect Threshold
The upper limit of the HOOK effect was established at 100× the highest calibrator concentration (equivalent to a 2-log10 increase). No HOOK effect was observed below this threshold, confirming that samples within this concentration range yield reliable quantitative results without signal depression.
