The technique which was used to measure total IgE was ELISA method using monoclonal anti-IgE antibody. The results of this research indicated that the lower value for IgE was detected in children at birth (X=3.S3 IU/mL), while the highest value was in 10 year old children (X=74.63 IU/mL). Therefore, it has been concluded that with increasing age, the IgE level will also increase (r=0.919). Regardless of the age value, the IgE content in both males and females are the same. But concerning age and sex, the IgE level in four year old girls was higher (X=44.92) than similarly aged boys (X=28.2) (P }, URL = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1470-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1470-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic Of Iran}, doi = {}, year = {1993} }
