Fig. 1 — Scheme of anti-IgE therapy strategies for IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Through immunoadsorption, free IgEs in serum can be bound specifically and neutralized, thereby preventing IgE association with IgE receptors on target cells and thus suppressing early/late allergy reactions. CTLA4Fcε, and similar agents, suppress the emergence of allergic reactions by reducing the number of effector cells, and hence the quantity of allergic mediators. Immunological drugs, like quilizumab, alleviate allergies by suppressing IgE⁺ B cells and controlling IgE generation
