A fluorescent biosensor reveals conformational changes in human immunoglobulin E Fc: Implications for mechanisms of receptor binding, inhibition, and allergen recognition

A fluorescent biosensor reveals conformational changes in human immunoglobulin E Fc: Implications for mechanisms of receptor binding, inhibition, and allergen recognition

IgE binding to its high affinity receptor Fc?RI on mast cells and basophils is a key step in the mechanism of allergic disease and a target for therapeutic intervention. Early indications that IgE adopts a bent structure in solution have been confirmed by recent x-ray crystallographic studies of IgE...
