Human allergic responses are triggered when mast cells bind IgE antibodies. IgE production is also a regular feature of helminth infection and parasites can be killed by inflammatory cells such as macrophages, eosinophils and platelets sensitized by reaginic antibody. The IgE receptor they use has been identified only recently. Here Andre Capron and his colleagues discuss how it differs from the IgE receptor present on mast cells.In the past decade it has become clear that antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a primary defence mechanism against several helminth parasites 1-3. Strikingly, inflammatory cells, such as macrophages, eosinophils and platelets, rather than lymphoid cells, are the active cellular partners in parasite killing, and isotypes usually associated with immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions appear to be the essential antibodies involved (Fig. 1).
