“…The site on human IgE responsible for binding to FcεRI has been associated with the Cε2, Cε3, and Cε4 domains by binding inhibition studies involving recombinant IgE truncations [5,6], chimaeric IgE [7], site-directed mutagenized IgE [8,9], synthetic peptides corresponding to IgE Fc domains and antibodies induced by such peptides [10][11][12][13][14], and mimetope peptides [9,15]. These observations pointed to a highly conformational receptor binding site that has recently been solved by resolution of the crystal structure of a human IgE-FcεRI complex.…”
