Abstract:
A method to detect canine IgE comprising:(a) contacting an isolated canine Fc.sub..epsilon. receptor (Fc.sub..epsilon. R) molecule with a putative canine IgE-containing composition under conditions suitable for formation of a Fc.sub..epsilon. R molecule:IgE complex; and(b) determining the presence of IgE by detecting said Fc.sub..epsilon. R molecule:IgE complex, the presence of said Fc.sub..epsilon. R molecule:IgE complex indicating the presence of IgE,wherein said canine Fc.sub..epsilon. R molecule comprises a protein having an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ TD NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 24, SEQ ID NO: 28 and SEQ ID NO: 31.
