Immune system (IgE-mediated allergy)

Molecular classification
Signaling pathway, Immune pathway
01

Overview

The IgE-mediated allergy pathway is a hypersensitivity reaction in which the immune system overreacts to harmless substances (allergens) by producing allergen-specific IgE antibodies. These IgE antibodies bind to high-affinity FcεRI receptors on mast cells and basophils, leading to rapid degranulation and release of inflammatory mediators upon re-exposure to the allergen, causing acute allergic symptoms. Strategies targeting this pathway include anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies that block IgE binding or therapies modifying glycosylation patterns on circulating IgEs.

02

Mechanism of action

Blocking IgE binding to FcεRI receptor, preventing mast cell degranulation, reducing Th2 response.
