I had an idea for allergies which was to create bivalent monoclonal antibodies, one for IgE and one for the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The two would be present on nascent IgE and the antibody would signal the body to kill these cells. That way, the population of IgE-producing cells never develop and the IgE never made. (The IgE gets extruded and attaches to Mast Cells. When antigen triggers the mast cells, they extrude cytokines (histamine and epinephrine) that cause the ill-effects.

That's precisely what I was thinking ๐Ÿ™‚

Interesting, I doubt Iโ€™d take it even if offered as my allergies arenโ€™t life threatening. Great for those at risk of choking.
