ABSTRACT:
Unique antigenic epitopes of IgE (designated ige.bl) which are present on IgE-bearing B lymphocytes but not basophils are described. Monoclonal antibodies which bind to the epitopes are useful to treat IgE-mediated allergy. The monoclonal antibodies, either alone or as cytotoxin-conjugated immunotoxins, can be used to reduce or deplete IgE-producing B cells in allergy sufferers. The antibodies may also have the additional therapeutical effects of clearing IgE from circulation by forming immune complexes. Monoclonal antibodies against the paratope of the antibody can be used to actively immunize allergy sufferers to attain the same results of administering the monoclonal antibody.
