摘要:
The present invention relates to the discovery of antibodies that bind to novel epitopes present on membrane-anchored IgE and which bind to these novel epitopes on the surface of B cells and plasma cells. In addition, the antibodies of the present invention can mediate ADCC and can be useful to deplete those B cells and plasma cells expressing the novel epitopes of the invention. The antibodies of the present invention can be useful for the treatment of IgE-mediated diseases. Accordingly the present invention also provides compositions and methods for the prevention, management, treatment or amelioration of IgE-mediated diseases.
