Anti-IgE therapy for IgE-mediated allergic diseases: from neutralizing IgE antibodies to eliminating IgE+ B cells

Abstract: Allergic diseases are inflammatory disorders that involve many types of cells and factors, including allergens, immunoglobulin (Ig)E, mast cells, basophils, cytokines and soluble mediators. Among them, IgE plays a vital role in the development of acute allergic reactions and chronic inflammatory allergic diseases, making its control particularly important in the treatment of IgE-mediated allergic diseases. This review provides an overview of the current state of IgE targeted therapy development, focusing on th… Show more

“…Upon activation, mast cells produce cytoplasmic granules with pro‐inflammatory and allergic mediators that are released into the surrounding environment (Hu et al, 2018). Stimulation‐induced wrinkling of the cell membrane facilitates the release of particles into the surrounding environment (Ohsawa & Hirasawa, 2012).…”

“…Because of its key role in type I hypersensitivity reactions, IgE has always been a prime target for intervention in allergic disease. This has been approached from two different angles: (a) targeting soluble IgE and (b) targeting B cells that express surface IgE (119). Another less specific approach for targeting IgE production has been the depletion of all B cells using the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (Figure 3).…”

“…Novel research on IgE-targeted therapies has been recently reviewed focusing on serum IgE neutralization, inhibiting IgE receptors in effector cells, and targeting IgE + plasma cells. 101 Baseline blood eosinophil levels can be used as prognostic markers for response to omalizumab in patients with allergic asthma. 102 A higher eosinophil count corresponded to a more effective omalizumab response as observed from an increased rate of reduction in asthma exacerbations.…”
