Which statement correctly identifies the role of IgE, the membrane-bound antibody that anchors to a variety of different white blood cells?
This antibody is a B-cell receptor that clusters into a structure with many binding sites in
response to a pathogen.
Found in tears and saliva, this antibody inhibits invading pathogens from binding to the
body's cells.
When this antibody binds to an antigen, it induces the attached cell to release histamines.
Located in the blood, this antibody is the most prevalent in the human body.
