Vaccine displaying native antigenic loops of immunoglobulin E is critical for eliciting neutralizing anti-IgE antibodies. The embodiment of the invention enables the display of native antigenic IgE receptor-contacting loops as IgE B-cell vaccines via three steps of constraining methods. The loops of multiple antigenic B-cell epitopes can be molecularly grafted in, and conformationally constrained by the energy favorable flanking beta (b)-stands, i.e., the super b-strands identified in this invention. The constrained loops can be further stabilized in replacing a selective loop within the cystine knot peptide. These dual constrained antigenic loops are then integrated onto thermostable protein scaffolds, folded in the oxidative milieu that provides further conformational constraint and high yield.

The present invention relates to the area of improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents, and compositions thereof, which target IgE, for instance: for use in treating disorders caused by IgE (such as allergic responses, or certain autoimmune responses); and, in particular, disorders caused by the interaction of IgE with the FcεRI receptor. In particular, this invention relates to improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents related to novel mutants of omalizumab (Xolair®). The improved anti-IgE antibodies and antigen binding agents of the invention may have improved affinity for IgE and/or an improved interaction with the Cε2 domain of IgE and/or an improved modified epitope on IgE (for instance further involving the Cε2 domain of IgE) and/or the ability to disassociate IgE from the FcεRI receptor for instance at pharmaceutically-relevant concentrations. In one aspect, improved or novel treatments for IgE mediated disorders are disclosed in which IgE is targeted (for instance free IgE and/or IgE complexed with the FcεRI receptor).

The invention relates to IgE antagonists, including monoclonal antibodies, and their use in ameliorating asthma and allergic diseases in offspring of mothers treated during pregnancy with such antagonists. The preferred IgE antagonists do not induce release of the mediators of allergy. One example of such IgE antagonists are anti-IgE antibodies which bind to secreted IgE, to membrane IgE on the surface of IgE-producing B cells, but not to IgE bound to the Fc∈RI on the surface of basophils or mast cells. Preferably, these antibodies also do not bind to IgE bound to Fc∈RII receptors. It is also preferable if these antibodies have human IgG1 or IgG3 constant regions, as well as further human portions, if desired.

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treatment of atopic dermatitis comprising a suitable IgE antagonist which does not induce release of the mediators of allergy; for example, anti-IgE antibodies which bind to secreted IgE, to membrane IgE on the surface of IgE-producing B cells, but not to IgE bound to the Fc epsilon RI on the surface of basophils or mast cells. Preferably, these antibodies also do not bind to IgE bound to Fc epsilon RII receptors. It is also preferable if these antibodies have human IgG1 or IgG3 constant regions, as well as further human portions, if desired.
