A Case for Anti‐IgE Vaccination
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in allergic diseases by binding to the high‐affinity receptor FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, where allergen‐induced crosslinking triggers potent inflammatory responses. Various mechanisms by which IgE responses are generated and functionally regulated remain elusive despite many years of research.
