| 1 | Mediation of hypersensitivity reactions during hemodialysis by IgE antibodies against ethylene oxide. | Ethylene Oxide | immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In seven of nine patients who had experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction (type II or type III), high titers of IgE antibodies against ETO (greater than 3.0 PRU/mL) were found. | Ethylene Oxide | immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | However, plasma levels of IgE specific for ETO were in the normal range (less than 0.35 PRU/mL) in most (30/37) patients who had experienced a mild (type I) reaction. | Ethylene Oxide | immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | We conclude that ETO causes most severe hypersensitivity reactions by an IgE-mediated mechanism. | Ethylene Oxide | immunoglobulin heavy constant epsilon | Homo sapiens |
