Which immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies are involved in a type I immediate hypersensitivity drug reaction?

IgE Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody is activated by the allergen to bind to mast cells and basophils via specialized receptors. When the activated antigen is encountered again, the IgE cross-links with the mast cells and basophil to degranulate and release histamine and other inflammatory mediators, producing a type I, or immediate hypersensitivity, reaction. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) are involved in type II, or cytotoxic/cytolytic, reactions that fix the antigen-antibody complex to a circulating red blood cell, destroying the cell by lysis. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is also involved in type III or Arthus reactions. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin D (IgD) are usually not involved in hypersensitivity reactions.
