Allergen specific IgE response is the major cause of immediate hypersensitively.
However the number of IgE-priducing B cells and the amount of IgE , especially
the soecific IgE ,are not low, it greatly impedes the study of the allergic-specific
antibody responses. Here we report the construction of a normal huamn IgE
combinatorical libarary . The repetorie of IgE
VH genes and of k gene were separately amplified from normal human peripheral
blood lymphocytes fhrough RT-PCR,and were then constructed to form the phage
surface display humanFab(IgEVH) library. A plant protein allergen, trichosanthin(TCS),
was used to affinity-enrich and to secrren the anti-TCS phage HuFab clones
from the library. Human IgE(Fab) to TCS were detected.
