Question 1
What would inhibit allergen-specific IgE from binding to allergen in the RAST?
IgM plus complement would form a complex on the bead and lyse the allergen Explanation
An IgM + complement complex forming near the IgE epitope and blocking IgE binding might be conceivable, but remember, any antibody must be specific for the allergen in order to inhibit specific IgE.
