Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
An antibody, usually IgE, that binds to tissue cells that have surface receptors for the Fc fragment of the immunoglobulin. The bound antibody retains its capacity to combine with antigen and the occurrence of an antigen-antibody reaction stimulates the subjacent cell to release the contents of its granules or to engage in enhanced phagocytic activity. 1, record 1, English, - cytotropic%20antibody

Anticorps sérique, appartenant aux immunoglobulines E(IgE), apparaissant chez des sujets sensibilisés par un premier contact avec un antigène. Il va se fixer sur certaines cellules, surtout sur les mastocytes et les polynucléaires basophiles, où sa rencontre ultérieure avec le même antigène provoquera la libération de médiateurs chimiques (histamine, sérotonine, kinine, héparine) et l'apparition de manifestations d'hypersensibilité immédiate. 1, record 2, French, - IgE%20s%C3%A9rique
