Abstract
The prevalence of allergic diseases is rising rapdly in the US and the world. While antibody drugs and corticosteroids can provide symptom relief, they cannot cure allergic diseases. Described herein is a novel approach to treating severe atopic allergic diseases - chimeric antigen receptor-engineered T cells - that target and eliminate the cells that produce the causative agent of all atopic allergic diseases, immunoglubulin E (IgE).
