ABSTRACT:
A pharmaceutical composition comprises an immune complex of an allergen and a purified antibody specific thereto, the allergen being selected from a specific subclass of antigen which causes immediate hypersensitivity that is mediated by IgE antibody, and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier or diluent. The method of using the compositions in the treatment of immediate hypersensitivity to the allergen is also described.
