Description
Background:
FcεR1α is subunit of the high affinity receptor for IgE to which IgE directly binds. FcεR1α is a tetrameric complex consisting of one α, one β and two γ subunits. The latter two are required for signal transduction activity. The FcεR1α complex plays an important role in triggering allergic responses.
The CRA1 (AER37) monoclonal antibody reacts with the FcεR1α subunit on a region that does not overlap the region of the IgE binding site, thus it does not compete with IgE for the receptor binding. Since the CRA2 (AER24) monoclonal antibody reacts with the IgE binding site on FcεR1α, it competes with IgE for the receptor binding. Combining the two antibodies, one can quantitatively measure the amounts of the IgE-bound FcεR1α.
