In addition, the director also mentioned that he wasn’t able to donate his plasma due to low IgE levels in his body. He stated that a person having an IgE level above 15 is only eligible to donate their antibodies. However, his was 8.62, which is way below the apt-mark. Having said that, the director added although he couldn’t do the donation process himself, his close relatives and friends have done the good deed.
