A soluble form of the high affinity IgE receptor, Fc-epsilon-RI, circulates in human serum. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Soluble IgE receptors are potential in vivo modulators of IgE-mediated immune responses and are thus important for our basic understanding of allergic responses. We here characterize a novel soluble version of the IgE-binding alpha-chain of Fc-epsilon-RI

IgE Antibodies: From Structure to Function and Clinical Translation

open access: yesAntibodies, 2019
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are well known for their role in mediating allergic reactions, and their powerful effector functions activated through binding to Fc receptors FcεRI and FcεRII/CD23. Structural studies of IgE-Fc alone, and when

The other side of the coin: IgE deficiency, a susceptibility factor for malignancy occurrence

open access: yesWorld Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Since the discovery of IgE, almost all attention was given to conditions with elevated specific or total IgE levels such as atopy, type I hypersensitivity reactions, or parasitic infestations. Recent prospective and retrospective studies show that having

From allergy to schistosomes: role of Fc receptors and adhesion molecules in eosinophil effector function

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
The dual function of eosinophils has been evidenced in protective immunity against parasites as well as in pathological manifestations during allergic disorders.

Novel peanut-specific human IgE monoclonal antibodies enable screens for inhibitors of the effector phase in food allergy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Background10% of US residents have food allergies, including 2% with peanut allergy. Mast cell mediators released during the allergy effector phase drive allergic reactions.

IgE, IgE Receptors and Anti-IgE Biologics: Protein Structures and Mechanisms of Action

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2023
The evolution of IgE in mammals added an extra layer of immune protection at body surfaces to provide a rapid and local response against antigens from the environment. The IgE immune response employs potent expulsive and inflammatory forces against local antigen provocation, at the risk of damaging host tissues and causing allergic disease.

Therapeutic Potential of MRGPRX2 Inhibitors on Mast Cells

open access: yesCells, 2021
Mast cells (MCs) act as primary effectors in inflammatory and allergic reactions by releasing intracellularly-stored inflammatory mediators in diseases.

The B Cell Response and Formation of Allergenic and Anti-Allergenic Antibodies in Food Allergy

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Food allergies are a growing public health concern worldwide, especially in children and young adults. Allergen-specific IgE plays a central role in the pathogenesis of food allergies, but their titers poorly correlate with allergy development.

AllergoOncology: High innate IgE levels are decisive for the survival of cancer-bearing mice

open access: yesWorld Allergy Organization Journal, 2019
Background: Atopics have a lower risk for malignancies, and IgE targeted to tumors is superior to IgG in fighting cancer. Whether IgE-mediated innate or adaptive immune surveillance can confer protection against tumors remains unclear.

Chimeric Antigen Receptors Based on Low Affinity Mutants of FcεRI Re-direct T Cell Specificity to Cells Expressing Membrane IgE

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
IgE is the key mediator of allergic responses. Omalizumab, an IgE-specific monoclonal antibody that depletes IgE, is effective for treating severe allergic asthma.
