Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, the number of patients with allergic diseases such as pollen allergy have been increasing. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a main cause of those allergic diseases. In this study, we applied phage display system to determine the peptide sequences having the affinity to IgE. When we screened against IgE from human myeloma U266 cells, we obtained peptides with highly shared sequences. In contrast, total IgE was not changed in vivo when the allergic mice were injected with IgE-binding peptides.
