Background: IgE-mediated responses contribute to allergy and asthma. Little is understood regarding the relationship of tissue IgE to systemic IgE, inflammation or clinical outcomes.Objectives: To evaluate local IgE expression and cellular inflammation in the proximal and distal lung of normal subjects and subjects with asthma of varying severity and relate those tissue parameters to systemic IgE levels, atopy, lung function, and history of severe exacerbations of asthma.Methods: Tissue from more than 90 subjects with eosinophilic (SAeo(+)) and noneosinophilic (SAeo(-)) severe asthma, mild asthma and normal subjects were immunostained for IgE, signal-amplifying isoform of IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI beta) and markers of mast cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes. Tissue expression of IgE, Fc epsilon RI beta, cellular inflammation, serum IgE, and atopy were compared. Regression models were used to determine the relationship of local and systemic IgE to lung function and severe exacerbations of asthma.Results: Mast cell-bound IgE was present along airways but absent in lung parenchyma. Although the groups were similar in systemic/serum IgE and atopy, local/tissue IgE was highest in SAeo(+) and correlated with eosinophils and lymphocytes (r(s) = 0.52, P
