Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a class of immunoglobulins found normally in small amounts in blood serum and secretions. IgE was isolated for the first time in 1960s from the sera of patients with atopy and multiple myeloma. In 1968, WHO identified IgE as an independent class of immunoglobulins. According to WHO, 1 IU / ml (IU – international unit) corresponds to 2.4 ng. Usually the concentration of IgE is expressed in IU / ml or kU / l (kU – kilounit).

Normally, IgE is less than 0.001% of all serum immunoglobulins (see Table 1).

Table 1: The content of IgE in the blood serum of healthy people

The structure of IgE is similar to that of other immunoglobulins and consists of two heavy and two light polypeptide chains. They are grouped into complexes called domains. Each domain contains approximately 110 amino acids. IgE has five such domains, in contrast to IgG, which has only four. According to the physicochemical properties, IgE is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 1

daltons, consisting of 12% carbohydrates. IgE has the shortest lifespan (half-life from blood serum 2-3 days), the highest rate of catabolism and the lowest rate of synthesis of all immunoglobulins (2.3 µg/kg per day). IgE is synthesized mainly by plasma cells localized in the mucous membranes. The main biological role of IgE is the unique ability to bind to the surface of human mast cells and basophils. On the surface of one basophil there are approximately 40,000 – 100,000 receptors that bind from 5,000 to 40,000 IgE molecules.

Degranulation of mast cells and basophils occurs when two IgE molecules associated with the cell membrane bind to an antigen, which in turn “turns on” successive events leading to the release of inflammatory mediators.

In addition to being involved in type I (immediate) allergic reactions, IgE is involved in protective helminthic immunity, which is due to the existence of cross-linking between IgE and the helminth antigen. The latter penetrates the mucosal membrane and sits on mast cells, causing their degranulation. Inflammatory mediators increase capillary and mucosal permeability, resulting in IgG and leukocytes leaving the bloodstream. IgG-coated helminths are joined by eosinophils, which eject the contents of their granules and thus kill the helminths.

IgE can be detected in the human body as early as the 11th week of fetal development. The content of IgE in the blood serum increases gradually from the moment of birth of a person until adolescence. IgE levels may decrease with age.

In the practice of clinical diagnostic laboratories, the determination of general and specific IgE is carried out in order to use them as independent diagnostic indicators. In table. 2 lists the main diseases and conditions accompanied by a change in the content of total IgE in blood serum.

Table 2: Diseases and conditions associated with changes in total serum IgE

Diseases and conditions	Possible reasons
I. Increased content of IgE
Allergic diseases due to IgE antibodies: a) Atopic diseases Allergic rhinitis · Atopic bronchial asthma Atopic dermatitis Allergic gastroenteropathy b) Anaphylactic diseases Systemic anaphylaxis Urticaria – angioedema	Multiple allergens: pollen dust epidermal food medicinal preparations chemicals metals foreign protein
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis	Unknown
Helminthiases	IgE antibodies associated with protective immunity
Hyper-IgE syndrome (Job’s syndrome)	T-suppressor defect
Selective IgA deficiency	T-suppressor defect
Wiskott-Aldridge Syndrome	Unknown
Thymus aplasia (DiGeorge syndrome)	Unknown
IgE – myeloma	IgE-producing plasma cell neoplasia
graft-versus-host disease	T-suppressor defect
II. Decreased total IgE
Ataxia – telangiectasia	T cell defects

Below are given as examples the ranges of total IgE serum levels (in adults) in some pathological conditions (Table 3). However, despite the initial apparent ease of using the determination of total and specific IgE for diagnosis, there are some difficulties in interpreting the results. Their list is given below.

Table 3: Total IgE values ​​in some pathological conditions

Features of interpretation and diagnostic limitations of total IgE

• Approximately 30% of patients with atopic diseases have a level of total IgE within the normal range.
• Some people with asthma may have hypersensitivity to only one allergen (antigen), resulting in total IgE being in the normal range, while skin testing and specific IgE will be positive.
• The concentration of total IgE in the blood serum also increases in non-atopic conditions (especially with helminthic invasion, some forms of immunodeficiency and bronchopulmonary aspergillosis) with subsequent normalization after appropriate treatment.
• Chronic recurrent urticaria and angioedema are not mandatory indications for the determination of total IgE, as they are usually non-immune in nature.
• The normal limits defined for Europeans cannot be applied to representatives of areas endemic for helminthiases.

Features of interpretation and diagnostic limitations of specific IgE

• Availability of specific IgE determination should not exaggerate its diagnostic role in the examination of patients with allergies.
• Detection of allergen-specific IgE (to any allergen or antigen) does not prove that this particular allergen is responsible for clinical symptoms; the final conclusion and interpretation of laboratory data should be made only after comparison with the clinical picture and the data of a detailed allergic history.
• The absence of specific IgE in peripheral blood serum does not exclude the possibility of an IgE-dependent mechanism, since local IgE synthesis and mast cell sensitization can occur in the absence of specific IgE in the bloodstream (for example, allergic rhinitis).
• Antibodies of other classes specific for this allergen, especially the class IgG (IgG4), may cause false negative results.
• Exceptionally high concentrations of total IgE, for example, in individual patients with atopic dermatitis, may, due to non-specific binding to the allergen, give false positive results.
• Identical results for different allergens do not imply the same clinical significance, since the ability to bind to IgE in different allergens may be different.

In conclusion, taking into account all of the above, as well as the existing difficulties in the formulation and interpretation of skin tests, we list the main indications and contraindications for the appointment of a specific allergological examination in vitro – the determination of specific IgE (Table 4).

Table 4: Indications and contraindications for specific IgE testing

Indications
1	Differential diagnosis between IgE-dependent and non-IgE-dependent mechanisms of allergic reactions
2	Patients in whom it is impossible to identify the allergen by anamnestic history, using a diary, etc.
3	Patients with insufficient effect of specific hyposensitization prescribed based on the results of skin tests
4	Dermographism and widespread dermatitis
5	Patients of childhood and the elderly with skin hyporeactivity
6	Skin hyperreactivity
7	Patients who cannot stop symptomatic therapy with drugs that affect the results of skin tests
8	Negative attitude of the patient to skin tests
9	History of systemic allergic reactions to skin tests
10	Inconsistency of the results of skin tests with the data of the anamnesis and the clinical picture
eleven	IgE-dependent food allergy
12	The need to quantify the sensitivity and specificity of the allergen
13	Total IgE of blood serum more than 100 kU/l
Examination is inappropriate:
1	In atopic diseases in cases of satisfactory results of specific therapy according to skin tests
2	In patients with a non-IgE-dependent mechanism of an allergic reaction

aggregate state of matter – article – Corporation Russian textbook (Drofa-Ventana publishing house)

State of aggregation – the state of any substance that has certain properties : the ability to maintain shape and volume, to have a long-range or short-range order, and others. When the state of aggregation of a substance changes, the physical properties, as well as the density, entropy and free energy, change.

How and why do these amazing transformations take place? To understand this, let’s remember that everything around consists of atoms and molecules . Atoms and molecules of various substances interact with each other, and it is the connection between them that determines the state of aggregation of a substance.

There are four types of aggregate substances:

• gaseous,

• liquid,

• hard,

• plasma.

It seems that chemistry reveals its secrets to us in these amazing transformations. However, it is not. The transition from one state of aggregation to another, as well as Brownian motion or diffusion, are physical phenomena, since in these transformations there are no changes in the molecules of the substance and their chemical composition is preserved.

Gaseous state

At the molecular level, a gas is a randomly moving, colliding with the walls of the vessel and with each other, molecules that practically do not interact with each other. Since the gas molecules are not connected to each other, the gas fills the entire volume provided to it, interacting and changing direction only when they hit each other.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to see gas molecules with the naked eye and even with a light microscope. However, the gas can be touched. Of course, if you just try to catch gas molecules flying around in your palm, then you will not succeed. But surely everyone saw (or did it themselves) how someone inflated the tire of a car or bicycle with air, and from soft and wrinkled it became inflated and elastic. And the apparent “weightlessness” of gases will refute the experiment described on page 39textbook “Chemistry Grade 7” edited by O.S. Gabrielyan.

This happens because a large number of molecules get into the closed limited volume of the tire, which become crowded, and they begin to hit each other and the tire walls more often, and as a result, the total effect of millions of molecules on the walls is perceived by us as pressure.

But if the gas occupies the entire volume provided to it, , why then does it not fly away into space and spread throughout the universe, filling interstellar space? So, something still retains and limits gases by the atmosphere of the planet?

Quite right. And this is the force of gravity . In order to break away from the planet and fly away, the molecules need to develop a speed exceeding the “escape speed” or the second cosmic velocity, and the vast majority of molecules move much more slowly.

Then the following question arises: Why do gas molecules do not fall to the ground, but continue to fly? It turns out that thanks to solar energy, air molecules have a solid supply of kinetic energy, which allows them to move against the forces of gravity.

Liquid state

By increasing the pressure and/or decreasing the temperature, gases can be converted into a liquid state. As early as the dawn of the 19th century, the English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday succeeded in converting chlorine and carbon dioxide into a liquid state by compressing them at very low temperatures. However, some of the gases did not succumb to scientists at that time, and, as it turned out, it was not a lack of pressure, but an inability to reduce the temperature to the required minimum.

A liquid, unlike a gas, occupies a certain volume, but it also takes the form of a filled vessel below the surface. Visually, the liquid can be represented as round beads or cereals in a jar. Liquid molecules are in close interaction with each other, but freely move relative to each other.

If a drop of water remains on the surface, after a while it will disappear. But we remember that thanks to the law of conservation of mass-energy, nothing disappears and does not disappear without a trace. The liquid will evaporate, i.e. will change its state of aggregation to gaseous.

Evaporation – is the process of transformation of the aggregate state of matter, in which molecules whose kinetic energy exceeds the potential energy of intermolecular interaction rise from the surface of a liquid or solid .

Evaporation from the surface of solids is called sublimation or sublimation . The easiest way to observe sublimation is to use naphthalene to fight moths. If you smell a liquid or a solid, then evaporation is occurring. After all, the nose captures the fragrant molecules of the substance.

Liquids surround a person everywhere. The properties of liquids are also familiar to everyone – this is viscosity, fluidity. When talking about the shape of a liquid, many people say that the liquid has no definite shape. But this only happens on Earth. Due to the force of gravity, a drop of water is deformed.

However, many have seen astronauts catching water balloons of various sizes in zero gravity. In the absence of gravity, the liquid takes the form of a ball. And the force of surface tension provides the liquid with a spherical shape. Soap bubbles are a great way to get acquainted with the force of surface tension on the Earth.

Another property of a liquid is viscosity. Viscosity depends on pressure, chemical composition and temperature. Most liquids obey Newton’s law of viscosity, discovered in the 19th century. However, there are a number of liquids with high viscosity, which under certain conditions begin to behave like solids and do not obey Newton’s law of viscosity. Such solutions are called non-Newtonian fluids. The simplest example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch in water. If you act on a non-Newtonian fluid with mechanical forces, the fluid will begin to take on the properties of solids and behave like a solid.

Solid State

If in a liquid, unlike a gas, molecules no longer move randomly, but around certain centers, then in a solid state of aggregation of matter, atoms and molecules have a clear structure and look like lined up soldiers in a parade. And thanks to the crystal lattice, solids occupy a certain volume and have a constant shape.

Between solid and liquid bodies, there is an intermediate group of amorphous substances, whose representatives, on the one hand, retain their shape for a long time due to their high viscosity, and on the other hand, the particles in it are not strictly ordered and are in a special condensed state. Amorphous substances include a number of substances: resin, glass, amber, rubber, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polymers, sealing wax, various adhesives, ebonite and plastics. You can read in detail about amorphous bodies on page 40 of the textbook “Chemistry Grade 7” edited by O.S. Gabrielyan.

Under certain conditions, substances that are in the aggregate state of a liquid can turn into a solid, and solids, on the contrary, when heated, melt and turn into a liquid.

This is because when heated, the internal energy increases, respectively, the molecules begin to move faster, and when the melting point is reached, the crystal lattice begins to break down and the state of aggregation of the substance changes. For most crystalline bodies, the volume increases during melting, but there are exceptions, for example, ice, cast iron.

Depending on the type of particles that form the crystal lattice of a solid, the following structure is distinguished:

• molecular

• nuclear,

• ionic

• metal.

For some substances, the change in aggregate states occurs easily, as, for example, for water, for other substances, special conditions (pressure, temperature) are needed. But in modern physics, scientists distinguish one more independent state of matter – plasma.

Plasma – ionized gas with the same density of both positive and negative charges . In wildlife, there is plasma in the sun, or in a lightning flash. The northern lights and even the familiar fire, which warms us with its warmth during a trip to nature, also refers to plasma.

Artificially created plasma adds brightness to any city. Neon advertising lights are just low-temperature plasma in glass tubes. Conventional fluorescent lamps are also filled with plasma.

Plasma is divided into low-temperature – with an ionization degree of about 1% and a temperature of up to 100 thousand degrees, and high-temperature – ionization of about 100% and a temperature of 100 million degrees (this is the state of plasma in stars).

Low-temperature plasma in fluorescent lamps familiar to us is widely used in everyday life.

High-temperature plasma is used in fusion reactions and scientists do not lose hope of using it as a replacement for atomic energy, but the control in these reactions is very difficult. And an uncontrolled thermonuclear reaction proved to be a weapon of colossal power when, on August 12, 1953 years the USSR tested a thermonuclear bomb.

To check the assimilation of the material, we offer a small test.
