Abstract
Antigenic epitopes associated with the extracellular segment of the domain which anchors dog immunoglobulin-.epsilon. to the B cell membrane are disclosed. The epitopes are present on dog IgE-bearing B cells but not basophils or the secreted, soluble form of dog IgE. The peptides representing the epitopes associated with the anchor domain of dog IgE can be used to generate antibodies against these regions.
