Immunopharmacology Comments
IgE is being investigated as a molecular target in allergic inflammatory conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria. One anti-IgE monoclonal, omalizumab, has already been approved for use in patients with asthma or chronic spontaneous urticaria. Omalizumab binds to circulating free IgE. The hunt for additional IgE-targeting antibodies is ongoing. Quilizumab, is one such investigational agent that targets the membrane bound IgE (mIgE) which forms the allergen-binding component of the B cell receptor.
